Friday excitement

The excitement started VERY early when I discovered that Miss Lil cannot wear one of those dress thingys to bed. She needs a onesie on to help hold the diaper on. Because if she does wear a dress, like she tried last night, she wakes up with the diaper completely off, poop and pee on her dress, the blanket wrapped around her, the blanket wrapped around that, the sheet saver and the sheet. Its a nice surprise at 2am let me tell you.

The excitement continued when after I cleaned her up she slept for 5 hours straight!!!!!! That almost made up for the middle of the night laundry and bath session. We hope this continues but don't expect it to.

It further continued when I had to go to the dr and get my staples out. Thankfully, that was rather uneventful and didn't hurt as bad as it could have (although it did hurt more than they promised it would). They said everything looks good and I don't go back for a month. And I lost 21 pounds since last Wednesday. Let me know if anyone else can beat my record for 1 week weight loss :-). It just tells you how nasty puffy I was with water last week.

Then, poor Lilly had to go BACK to the pedi because we thought she looked a little yellow. The pedi said he didn't think it was bad but he did send us to the hospital for lab work. That hurt more than the staples even, poor thing, it took FOREVER. But she was excellent, and really didn't even cry that much. The doc called later to say that her level was 17, worse than he thought but not horrible. He said just to see if its worse tomorrow and if so to bring her back in, if not, we're okay. Here's hopin'.....

Lillian Ashleigh

Lillian joined us on 1-23-08 at 8:56 p.m. via c-section. She weighed 5 pounds, 13 ounces and was 19 inches long. She was perfectly healthy and had an apgar score of 8 at birth. We both left the hospital on Saturday. Lilly weighed 5 pounds, 4 ounces when we left the hospital.

She had her first pedi visit on Monday and she was up to 5 pounds, 6 ounces and he said everything looked great. She has to go back in two weeks.

Lilly loves to sleep.........if someone is holding her. She is getting used to a pacifier and is starting to get the hint that when she puts her thumb in her mouth someone takes it out. She loves to be curled all up but is stretching more and more and starting to gain some strength to push people away or pull them closer. She loves to wear hats and hates to be nekkid.

She is so much fun and we're all enjoying her immensly. I will put some pictures on here, but more are on our picasa web site. I am updating the picasa site regularly but this blog will probably be pretty sparce for awhile---we're kinda busy with other stuff :-)
