Since my last post, I was hospitalized again for high blood pressure, then had to stay for some light bleeding. I was finally released, then days later had a scheduled C-section. I was so terrified with the idea of surgery but honestly, it wasn't near as bad as I had freaked myself out about.
The hardest part has definitely been the NICU stay, for about a week and a half now. She needed some assistance breathing at first, and since then it's been a combination of low temperatures, low weight, high bilirubin, you name it. Nothing too scary but definitely low enough that they weren't comfortable enough sending her home yet. Her weight dropped to 5 lbs 3 oz and while weight loss is to be expected, hers kept going down which was concerning. She is now up to 5 lbs 4 oz and as long as it stays up, we get to go home tomorrow. Can I get a hallelujah?! I miss Henry so much I don't even know. I can't wait to have my whole family together again.
Enough of my complaining though, I have to share some of the ridiculous amounts of pictures I've already taken :)
She is already the sweetest little girl, and I cannot wait to get her home. I am a little nervous about how Henry will do with her getting a lot of my attention, but we'll see! Thank goodness Carl's got more time off to help with the adjustment.
And a side note- I decided to switch up the name of my blog. I would like to get more dedicated and make some changes in the new year, and I thought what better start than a new name! Let me know if you like it, or thought Staas & Company was better.
That's all for now, thank you so much for reading!
