Born on April 15th, 1983 in Winnipeg, Manitoba to (me) her mommy Cynthia Marlene Monkman.
I held my little baby for the first time, she was born at 12:24 pm and she weighed 8 lbs 3 ozs and was 21 inches long. Toots-Fee was so darned cute. She had no hair and what you could see if you looked close was soft peach fuzz. My little girl was fussing and she was hungry....feed me...feed me...sucking her little soft fingers. I think that was the sign I was getting as she was a tad upset and her little fists were becoming her lunch. Even her hospital baby picture told that story....as she sucked on that tiny little fist.
I fed her by (breast) and she was calmed by this time. She then fell fast alseep in my arms. It took all I had in me to place her in that glass hospital bed they had put her in. I wanted to hold her forever in my arms. She was my pride and joy and I loved her the moment I seen her. Gosh she was so cute and I loved to cuddle her soft warm body next to mine. I knew she would have to go to the nursery, as I had just gave birth not long before and I was worn out and needed my rest so I could attend to her later when she was up for her next feeding.
I was just falling asleep for my afternoon nap..when the Doctor woke me and said hello....I turned over to see him and they let me know that my baby was going to have to be put into an incubator for about 1 or 2 weeks depending on how long the jaundice stayed with her. That scared me and I was all worried about my baby's health and if she would be ok now. They explained to me that some babies are born with this and they are kept long after mom goes home. I felt sad to leave her behind, but it was in her best interest.
I came to the hospital every day to breast feed her, cuddle her, rock her to sleep and change her bottom. I loved my baby girl so very much, she was my life!
