On the 25th of March at 6 am we went to the hospital to be induced. Long story short, after 27 hours and three hours of pushing with a little help from a vacume, Jillian FINALLY made her appearance. She had the cord wrapped really tightly around her neck which was keeping her from coming out. When they were pulling it off, the cord ripped a little bit. So everyone was freaking out. Jillian was blue and not breathing on her own at first. She was on oxygen for about a minute. But she bounced back really quickly and she's absolutely perfect. My mom was able to come up for three weeks and she took care of Kari, she was an absolute life saver because we were stuck in the hospital until sunday afternoon because I'd gotten a fever during labor and they wanted to make sure Jillian didn't get sick. So Jillian is now 10 days old. She's really mellow and she eats a TON. She's the polar opposite of Karielle, which is really good in this case because Kari was a very needy baby. We had a fun easter (I'll post more about that later) and mom left this morning so now I need to figure out how to do this all myself. lol! Thank you everyone for your prayers! Love you all!

She's beautiful!!! Love the photos. Who took them? I'm glad things went well even after a few scares. That's how it was with Naomi not making a peep when she was born. Freaked me out. Especially since her heart rate was being funky. Hope you're feeling better! You'll do great without your mom. You can handle two.
ReplyDeleteAll but the family ones were taken by me. Mom took the family ones. She's pretty darn cute isn't she? :D :D
ReplyDeleteAlexis!! She is SO beautiful! I am loving that smilebox thing, I have never seen one before. Super cute! All the pictures were adorable. So, are you making it ok with your mom gone? I wish I could come over and see your baby, we are still passing germs around here, sorry. Well, I hope you are recovering fast. I can't imagine what a vaccuum does to ones body, bleh!
