Little Bug has a new nickname …

“Porky”

I fed her the normal 2oz. she wants every 3-4 hours around 8pm. Typically after she eats she gets her diaper changed, is swaddled and sleeps until her next feeding.

Well, after the 8pm feeding she was fussy. Little Bug typically doesn’t fuss unless something is wrong. I figured she had gas because her tummy was rumbling.

After trying to soothe her, Dave and I decided maybe she wanted more to eat. I went to make the bottle and Dave went to get her ready to eat. As soon as he put the bottle to her little mouth, she chowed down on another ounce of formula.

The little peanut was hungry for more. She downed that ounce and has been out like a light ever since in her bassinet.

These days continue to just be surreal even though I know I am living the result of a miracle on a daily basis.

I was thinking today that if that IVF cycle had worked back in March I’d be about 3 months pregnant.

But honestly, I can’t even imagine that because Little Bug is the little girl that was to be my daughter from the very beginning of time.

I can’t imagine not having Little Bug in my life.

She is my girl.

And she is perfect in every way.

I wouldn’t change a thing.

God certainly knows best … in all circumstances.
