4:00 pm

Today was the day, the day I've been waiting for, the day I get to bring my baby girl home for the first time after 6 weeks. Trust me those 6 weeks were the hardest time of my life, from the countless numbers of surgeries she had to go through to the eating out of tubes and not being able to hold her have been tough for my entire family.

Earlier that Morning

I woke up to a tiny foot kicking me in the side and I immediately remembered Olivia fell asleep in my room and I was too tired to move her. I looked at the clock that read 7:45 and decided I'd get up and start my day, I slowly climbed out of bed to make sure I didn't wake her, I made my way to the bathroom to brush my teeth and wash my face, while I was rinsing off my face wash I felt ice-cold hands come around my waist.

Boy- "Good Morning beautiful, how'd you sleep?"

"Good morning, I slept fine other than feeling tiny feet and hands hitting my body every 30 seconds. How bout you?"

Boy- "I slept great and it was even better waking up with you."

I woke up to my alarm blasting in my ear, I hit the snooze button and rolled over for another 5 minutes before I heard little footsteps walking into my room and climbing into my bed.

Matty- "Olivia come back, let mommy sleep"

Matty walked into my room shortly after Olivia and I quickly covered myself with the blanket on my bed.

"Uhh, Matty!!"

Matty- "Sorry Maya, I tried to get her before she came here but she's so quick now it's hard to keep up."

(laughing) "It's cool she's fine"

I was sitting in bed laughing at Matty chase Olivia around my room and then out the door towards my mom's room before I got up and took a shower before heading to the hospital.

"Matty don't forget we're leaving a little early to head to the hospital so can you get her dressed I have to shower!"

Matty(yelling)- "Yeah I can do that"

I hoped in the shower real quick and when I got out I threw on a grey sweater, black jeans, my brown boots, and a red & white scarf, I pulled my hair into a messy bun and went to see if Matty had successfully gotten Olivia dressed. 

I walked into Olivia's bedroom to see Matty finishing up getting ready in her bathroom and Olivia dressed and playing in the corner. Olivia had on the cutest outfit; a white sweater with a gold heart in the middle, rose pink pants, and light brown little boots.
