So, yesterday we went to the doctor for Fiona's 6 month check up and found out that she hasn't gained much weight, the doctor said that we should supplement and we should start feeding her solids {so many shoulds!}. This morning she ate rice cereal like a pro, like she had been craving it all her life, no spitting up, no choking, beautifully.
I put her to bed for her second nap and took a shower, and then it hit me, I started crying and I cried and cried, the tears mixing with the water from the shower. My baby depended on my body solely for nourishment for the whole time she was inside of me and the 6 months afterwards. She is growing so fast, and I know it is a rite of passage, that is how things are, but it still makes me a little sad. I really did not know I could love this much.
Ayer fuimos al doctor para el chequeo de 6 meses de Fiona y descubrimos que no aumento mucho de peso. La doctora nos dijo que teniamos que suplementar con formula y empezar a darle comidita. Esta man~ana Fiona comio cereal como una experta, sin escupir, sin atragantarse, como si lo hubiese hecho toda la vida.
La puse a dormir la siesta y me empece a ban~ar y, de repente me ataco el llanto, llore y llore, las lagrimas se mezclaban con el agua de la ducha. Mi chiquita dependio de mi exclusivamente
durante los nueve meses que estuvo en mi panza y los 6 meses siguientes y ahora esta creciendo, rapido. Se que esto es normal, que es una transicion, pero igual me pone un poco triste. Realmente no sabia que podia existir un amor asi.
