After a quick glimpse from mom Eva was whisked up to the NICU with me following closely behind. It all seemed like such a blur. The doctors and nurses went swiftly to work getting Eva settled into her new digs. They first hooked up the ventilator to help Litte Miss breathe so she didn't have to struggle so hard. The doctor and nurses explained what they they were doing every step of the way. There was a brief lull in the flurry of activity when it was just Eva, myself and a couple nurses. The nurses were cleaning her up some more and little Eva had her hands outstretched above her head like she was reaching for me. I put my pinky out and her finger latched on. What a magical moment. After that Eva needed to have lines put into to her umbilical cord for nutrients and blood draws. I thought that was a good time to check on mom in recovery and one of the nurses escorted me down.
The rest of the day was spent running between NICU and mom's room making sure that both my girls were doing well. Many calls to astonished family were also made during this blur of activity.
