Ember’s first Easter was a quiet one. Aunt Danese and Uncle Seth came to bring a delicious Easter feast around lunch time. We had a great visit and then I promptly went and fell asleep for almost two hours. For what it’s worth, I HAD gotten up, showered and gotten myself into a dress beforehand… Read More Easter
We got released from the hospital on Saturday at 2:30 and although I was originally completely freaked out, after the NICU doctor came by to tell us we we’re good to go, I started to get REALLY excited. Ember had been spotty on her eating through the night in the opinion of myself and my… Read More Home home home
News from the NICU was that Ember came off her IV fluids at 10am and was eating well all day! I was able to send up a pretty good amount of milk to her, and am getting pretty comfy being milked like a cow – moooo. We had a much calmer day today with help… Read More Good News Keeps Coming
After a night in the NICU, it looks like kiddo is doing great. Her blood sugar levels are doing well and she’s responding very well to the glucose and chowing down on formula. All that to be said, they’re hoping to take her off the IV soon and send her back down to the room… Read More The Good News
Now that I’ve slept, I actually had time to compile some photos of Squeakers’s first day. She spends most of her time cooing and squeaking, isn’t terribly fussy, and is generally a total miracle. Thanks to everyone who’s followed along on this adventure. Don’t worry, she can’t wait to meet you. Thanks to Katrina for… Read More Ember’s First Days
We had such a big day Wednesday that by the time aunts and uncles (related and otherwise) visited and everything wound down, kiddo, Kevin and I were pretty worn out. Never the less, as they say, we persisted. Ember worked all day on being totally adorable and squeaking a lot, making progress on nursing each… Read More Day Two – Never Ending Excitement
Oh what a day. We started out early leaving the house around 4:30 for our 5:00am appointment to check in for the c section at 7:30. I’d slept the night before but not too much, of course. I was definitely nervous when we arrived – and of course had forgotten to get gas before hand,… Read More April 12th, 2017
Wednesday (tomorrow) morning at 5am I’ll be checking in to the hospital. 37 weeks along with a tiny person who should be at least 5lbs. Yesterday I packed up my desk and said goodbye to work friends before heading to the doctor for the last non stress test and final discussion before The Big Event.… Read More 37 weeks – 1 Day To Go
This Friday I had my last High Risk appointment – I happily waved goodbye as I left and someone said I’d graduated. This also meant the last time I’d see kiddo on an ultrasound (probably) and per usual she wasn’t cooperating so we didn’t get any stunning photos to share. Her fluid was the same… Read More Last High Risk Appt
This is the home stretch. I’m scheduled to have a C Section in 8 days. Everyone is so excited for me. I know this because they keep saying “I’m so excited for you! Are you excited?!” And I keep smiling but I’m not sure I’ve really answered anyone. Am I excited? No? I don’t know?… Read More 36 Weeks – Everyone Is Excited
