Day 1

Dear Journal,

I'm finally a mother; I hope I can be an awesome single mom. I want to be one of those cool moms that their kids aren't embarrass to go shopping with or hang out with. It's the first day that I got home from the hospital with the baby. She's 8lbs and perfectly healthy when they did the Apgar Scale test on her. It's so exciting and unreal but scary at the same time since I have to take care of her without the nurses helping me. I just wish I can bring them home with me and help me out. I'm glad my mom and aunts offered to help though. I'm so excited that I forgot to mention, her name is Kelly. I was going to name her Elena, my favourite character from Vampire diary but she didn't look like an Elena. :'( Kelly is a good name too. Elena didn't cry much when we were driving her home so that was good, crossing my fingers that it stays this way. I'm hoping she won't have the red light phobia (when the baby cries when the car stops at a red light).

Kelly's being bottle fed since I'm on meds. Feeding her milk from a bottle is alot harder than I thought, she kept pushing the bottle away with her tongue, I was so lucky when my neighbor came over; she had 2 kids already and it seems like she had the same problem in the past. I don't know what I'll do if she didn't come over. Kelly also had her meconium today so it means Kelly is healthy! It was really weird, it was all black and stuff. That's it for now, I need to as much sleep as I can.
