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

Hey Barbie what cute pics Thank you for sharing are you sure that little girl dosnt belong to me from the pics looks like she might from scream to angel in 2 seconds that would be just like her Auntie Pam.

Hi Pam ! When she goes from "angel" to 'scream", she goes from grandma to mom in about the same 2 seconds !! I'm not sure I'm willing to send her to you for lessons, but I'll send her momma to you so I get to hold the little angel for a while ! ((( hugs ))), Barbie

Awwwww! She's so sweet! And my hair looks like that when I wake up in the mornings too! Let me know when you send Jessie to Pam so I can come visit and lock you in the closet. Smiles! -Spiz
