Sunday marks the end of our first full weekend home. Gigi has moved out all of her stuff from staying this week and it’s a little sad to see her go. Not just because it means we’re on our own (sort of), but because the time we were able to spend together was so much… Read More Weekend & Breast Feeding
Today Ember had a big day. After much general annoyance, I decided it was time to get a new phone (Jesse, you were right, I needed a better camera to take important baby photos among other things). Luckily, I have a friend who works at Verizon (let me know if you need his contact info… Read More Friday
Today Ember took her first real bath. She enjoyed almost all of it!
Today Ember is one week old. One week ago everything in the world changed for the better and I couldn’t be happier. I’ve gotten enough sleep lately to allow for logical thought processes as well as general sanity. I don’t burst into tears every time I look at her anymore, which is a little more… Read More One Week Old
Ember went to see Dr Katie today for the first time and had her second car ride. I TOTALLY forgot to call and make a 2 day post-hospital release appointment, so when we got up this morning, I called at 8:30. Gigi had taken the night shift and I was seriously hoping I could let… Read More Doctor Approved
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
