Sarah and Jessie are doing great !!

Mon, 03/20/2006 - 17:53
Baby Sarah has regained all the initial weight she lost, and has put on a few extra ounces. She's doing really well eating from her bottle more, and we expect this to continue over the next few days. The nurses said that they are tentatively scheduling her to come home this weekend ! YES !! I can't wait to get the little darling home ! Every once in a while, Jessie lets me hold her in the hospital. When I get her home, I can lock Jessie in the closet and hold her all I want, right? Isn't that what grandmas are for? Jessie is doing so well !! It's been 2 weeks since her last seizure - which is the longest she's gone in quite a while. No more panic attacks, (thank goodness) !! She is so much more alert now than she was during the last couple of weeks of her pregnancy. Maybe we have finally found a good level of medication to keep her seizure free ! Her scar from the c-section is healing nicely and she's moving around like normal now. She's such a happy little mom ! I am enjoying watching her adjust to being a new mom, almost as much as I am enjoying spoiling the baby. Thanks to everyone for your kind wishes. Here's a couple of new pictures. When I get her home, I'm sure we'll have a lot more - it's hard to take pictures with all those wires attached to her. (( hugs )), Barbie

Beautiful pictures! What a great way to start the day. I'm so glad to hear that Jesse's doing so well and I hope you are too. Sarah is beautiful, can't wait to see some at home pictures. Wish we could have a baby shower. Then we could take turns holding her, although I might be a baby hog and get locked in the closet myself, could get very crowded in there. Smiles for all! Linda

Hi Barbie- She's getting soooooo cute, wait till all the boys get a load of her! Oh Oh but your a Granny now so all you can do is giggle at the line up of cute boys wanting a date with your sweet little girl. Good luck! That will be the hard part! Hugs Joan

Barbie, What an angel!! And a head full of hair. I love looking at baby pictures, thank you for sharing them. I am also so very happy everyone is doing well, what a relief it must be. You are right, it's a grandmother's job to spoil, unless the aunt beats her to it. Just kidding, I am an aunt to 3 beautiful little girls and 2 handsome little boys. It's especially nice for me to read your posts because it gives me hope, I had my first Intrauterine Insemination Monday. I take Phenobarbital every night and I pray that if I am in fact pregnant that the good Lord will bless me with a healthy and safe pregnancy and of course and healthy baby. Best wishes to you and your family. Vanessa
