My profile
My name is Jamie, and I'm a new mother of 3, now that we've added our little girl Willow. She was born on Januray 24th, 2010, my older two boys are 15 and 9, and a great big handful, but also the best things in my life. I put a little about her below for those curious about our newest addition!
I had my little girl yesterday and I posted my birth stuff, but I don't know where it goes... Will update more as we go as she's in NICU.
They called it Delayed Transition or something like that. I'm sure I'm wrong, but I can't remember stuff right now, so much happened yesterday at the same time! But they are doing an echocardiogram on her today just to make sure her heart is fine. I have had so many NST's I'd think if she had a murmer or heart problem it would have showed up somehow? So I'm hoping, anyhow. And that she gets all her junk taken off so I can hold her for the first time. At least her daddy got to carry her to the nursery and hold her while I was getting stitched up post c-sect.
UPDATE: It's Wednesday, January 27th, and we are getting cleared to go home! Echo showed her heart didn't transition quickly enough, but all is well now! So me and my sore belly are taking this beautiful babe home, I can't believe how happy I am!
UPDATE #2: Things are going well at home. We are adjusting to her schedule, since she's not really following the one they tried to set up for us in NICU. Which was feeding every 3 hours. She eats every 2-4 hours, often every 4, but she eats an extra ounce at the feedings, so I'm not worried. She lets us sleep 3-4 hours at a time at night most nights. She does get occasional gas problems, but it's usually not something that lasts too long, and if you hold her, she'll often fall asleep after about 10 or 20 minutes and is consoleable for most of that time. She's beautiful, and has daddy wrapped around her little fingers. Each one! Her grandparents(on his side) are also gaga. It's adorable to see it happen for the first time again. New dad, new grandparents, lots of fun times ahead!
