Happy Easter!

Emma went to church for the very first time today! She did pretty well, but got a little bit fussy! Here are some pictures of her pretty Easter dress and some with her stuffed animals

Emma and Daddy




We tried to take a family picture, but it didn't really work out.


Emma and Momma

She is so much fun!

Getting ready for bed!


Bath Time! She doesn't seem to like this very much. This was her fisrt bath in her little tub. She did better the second time.


Daddy and daughter! Robert is such a good dad!

Nursing Baby!

My cute little Emma is now nursing! I'm so excited. My friend Kilee who is a labor and delivery nurse came to visit and really helped. I know she was a special blessing becasue I had lots of people try and help me and she knew exactly what I needed. Thanks so much Ki, and it was really fun to see you too! I have some new pictures that hopefully I will be posting soon! So check back!

Cute Pictures!

More Pictures!

Here are some more pictures of our little Emma! Things are going well. She had some jaundice, but is now off the light bed. We have some feeding issues. In the hospital we had some breast feeding issues, but she did okay. They gave me a feeding tube and syringe to go home with in case she wouldn't nurse, and ever since we came home I've only gotten her to nurse twice. We tried the feedig tube and it seemed to work, but now in the last 24 hours have started her on the bottle with pumped milk. I went to see my OB yesterday and she suggested that I take a break and start the bottle. She said she is either going to nurse or she's not and she is still getting the exact same nutrients from the bottle. The nurse thinks that part of the problem is my milk production is too low and she can't get enough fast enough and gets really frustrated. They might put me on medication to make it better. Right now I'm barely pumping enough for her to eat and sometimes have to supplement with formula. It has probably been the most frustrating and sad thing. I still try to nurse at almost every feeding, but she just gets so frustrated. On a happy note! She is a very good baby and hardly ever fusses. She is such a sweet baby and is already such a blessing to us. Here are some pictures that we have taken. The light bed looks absolutely terrible, but she actually slept pretty much the whole time while she was on it. It was such a blessing. I was really worried about it. She got herself into some really cute positions. Enjoy the pictures!

Interesting Times

Well, I know you all were planning on seeing some baby pictures, but not yet. I spent all of Monday night, Tuesday and Wednesday in the hospital being induced and nothing happened. I guess my body just wasn't ready to go into labor. My preeclapsia is hanging in their for right now, so for now we'll just see what happens. I go to the doctor again tomorrow and I get to redo all of the lab work again. I have to say I'm kind of sick of being poked and prodded and not getting a baby. They said they won't let me go past my due date so I guess we'll see what next week brings. That's all I really have for now. I'm still on bed rest. I hope the next time I post it will be with baby pictures!
