SOFIA GIULIANA ARRIVED

Technically, it's been almost 3 months since she was born. What a Journey!!!! We have gone trough a few things in such a small period of time. Starting with the C-Section getting postponed, Karina getting induced into labor, emergency c-section cuz Sofia was "stressed", Sofia not wanting to breath and with tachycardia and going to NICU and not being able to carry her for two days. Then came the sleepless nights... for Karina...ha. After a few days went by, all that subsided and a few days after that it began to sink in the fact the there is little baby that came out of nowhere and it's the most incredible feeling. Such awe and love at the same time as you stare at that little miracle that depends on you for everything. Seriously, I don't understand how people don't believe in Jehovah and the tremendous miracle that is the creation of a tiny human being.
When that baby looks into your eyes and grabs your finger, it just spins your world around in a way that you cannot describe it. Of course you have an idea when people tell you how it feels like, but until you go through it, you realize how strong a bond can be, and how much you can love a person.
That brings us to another subject, being a mom. Now, I am in the same boat about having an idea but not having the opportunity to fully inderstand it, for obvious reasons. But after seeing all Karina went though and all those sleepless nights and all the devotion and dedication invested in a lil pooping-farting-burping machine. I take off my hat to her because it has been rough on her and she is doing such an excellent job. And I love her and thank her so much more for that.
