This morning after Ali finished nursing, Rob was able to take her and play with her so that I could get some sleep. I managed to sleep for about 2.5 hours and when I got up, I walked in to see Ali, who was having her bum changed and she looked right at me and smiled the biggest smile she's ever had.
This may not seem like much to people who don't have kids yet, but this was the first time it was completely apparent that she knew who I was and was happy to see me. She recognized her "mommy"! After 5 weeks of sleepless nights and an endless amount of cuddles, to be rewarded with a bright eyed, heart warming smile made my day!
