Waiting........

Juliet is all tuckered out from her tests this morning. Now all we can
do is rest and wait for the results.

Hospital Food

This was my cold pancake breakfast. I'm hoping lunch is a little
better and really hoping maybe we'll be at home for dinner.

Mode of transport

Rolling in the red wagon on my way to get my last two tests before
hopefully getting out of here today. Keep your fingers crossed for me
everyone!

On my way.......

All bundled up

Feeling Better

I could stare at that smile forever...

Me and my Girl

The best little baby in the world.

Stink Eye

This is what Juliet thinks of staying here another night.

Chair Chilling

So we're stuck here until tomorrow so they can give Juliet more
antibiotics-which is good but we're very tired and bored. We've
resorted to sleeping sitting up in chairs because the bed is like
laying on concrete.

Tiny Tummy

So here we are, still at the hospital. Juliet is doing much better -
her appetite is back and her fever is down. Now we're just waiting to
see if and when we can go home.

Everyone here has taken great care of us and I'm so greatful for that,
however after three days of each different nurse lecturing me on what
I should or shouldn't be doing, my patience is wearing thin.

I know I'm a new mom and all but I've had no trouble breastfeeding for
the last five weeks so while I appreciate the concern, for the tenth
time, no I don't need to see a lactation consultant, and I WILL use a
pacifier if I want to.

We didn't get much sleep last night but daddy came really early so I
could nap and then shower. So I'm still tired but at least I'm clean
and no longer smell of baby puke.....for now :)

These are the times I really wish I could hit the starbucks downstairs
or the little store for a redbull to pick me up. But alas, no cafiene
while breastfeeding so it's yummy water for me.

Well I'm off to take some Advil for my neck and back. The "sleeper"
they have here is more like a midevil torture divice and when this is
all over, I see a mommy prescription foe a massage and chiropractor!

Thanks to everyone for your well wishes and I'll keep you posted.

Daddy Care

Here's Daddy taking over at the hospital. So happy to be in Daddys
arms.

Daddys Here

Looking happy now that Daddys here to hold her.

Back to the Hospital

It seems like we were just at the hospital a few days ago.....oh yeah,
we were. Unfortunately we're back today at the ER. This morning Juliet
came down with a fever so I brought her in. They are running a bunch
of tests, one being a chest x-Ray which is when this pic was taken,
she was none too happy.

Her fever is now down and she's feeling much better. We have to stay
the night while she gets a few rounds of antibiotics thouh, no fun.

First Bottle Feeding

Tonight is Juliet's first bottle feeding by Daddy. Mommy is trying to
stay out of the way......but that is turning out to be harder than she
thought......

Burp, Burp, Burp

Here's daddy burping Juliet after her first bottle feeding.

Shakey Leg

While visiting my friend Heather, I got her to trim Juliet's little
finger nails that were getting really long and sharp -she has a lot
more experience doing this than I do.

The video is short and I only caught the end but while Heather was
trimming her nails, juliet's leg keeps shaking, and it was so funny. I
think I caught it once and maybe you had to be there but we were
cracking up.
