SATURDAY NIGHT, SUNDAY, MONDAY

AFTER BLAIRE WAS BORN

WE HEADED UP TO OUR HOSPITAL ROOM!

WE WERE A NEW KIND OF TIRED!

WE HAD BEEN AWAKE SINCE FRIDAY

MORNING!

BUT WE HAD VISITORS COME AND SEE

OUR SWEET NEW BABY AND BLAIRE

HAD HER FIRST BATH!

AND SHE GOT HER FIRST BOW!

 

 

THAT NIGHT WE DIDN'T SLEEP MUCH...

KYLE WAS ON THE HORRIBLE "BED" THAT IS REALLY

A CHAIR...

AND WE COULDN'T REALLY GET BLAIRE

TO NURSE!

IT WAS A ROUGH NIGHT!

BUT IT DIDN'T EVEN MATTER!

OUR SWEET BABY WAS FINALLY HERE AND IN OUR ARMS!

 

THE NEXT DAY WAS FILLED WITH

LOTS OF VISITORS

AND DOCTORS CHECKING TO MAKE

SURE BLAIRE BABY WAS DOING WELL!

SHE WAS PERFECT EXCEPT SHE HAD A HEART MURMER...

THAT MADE ME NERVOUS BUT

I WAS ASSURED THAT IT WAS VERY COMMON

AND THEY ARE USUALLY GONE BY THE FIRST WEEK!

SO I FELT BETTER!

OH AND KYLE LEARNED HOW TO CHANGE A DIAPER :]

WOOOOO!!!!

 

 

THAT NIGHT WAS ROUGH AGAIN

BUT WE STILL DIDN'T MIND AND THE

NIGHT NURSE WE HAD WAS SO PATIENT!

LOVED HER!

 

MONDAY MORNING I WAS RELEASED TO GO HOME

ANY TIME THAT DAY... BUT BLAIRE WASN'T!

I WAS HEART BROKEN!

ALL HELL WAS GUNNA BREAK LOOSE IF I HAD

TO LEAVE MY BABY AT THE HOSPITAL

AND GO HOME!

THAT IS NOT OKAY!

NO ONE WANTS TO DO THAT!!!

BLAIRE HAD LOST TOO MUCH WEIGHT SO

WE HAD ABOUT 12 HOURS TO TRY TO GET HER BACK

UP TO 6 LBS IN ORDER FOR HER TO BE RELEASED

WITH ME!

GAME ON!

 

FIVE O'CLOCK ROLLED AROUND

AND SHE STILL WASN'T QUITE THERE...

I CRIED!

I COULDN'T EVEN HELP IT!

I DIDN'T WANT TO LEAVE HER!

SO THEY FELT BAD FOR ME AND GAVE ME A LIL

MORE TIME!

SHE FINALLY WEIGHED 6 LBS :]

RIGHT AFTER SHE ATE AND WITH A FULL DIAPER...

BUT HEY SHE GOT RELEASED!

YES!!!!

 

 

ABOUT 9:00 MONDAY NIGHT WE GOT

TO HEAD HOME!

IT WAS FREEZING!

AND I HAVE NEVER SEEN KYLE DRIVE SO CAREFULLY!

 

WE STOPPED AT DEL TACO ON THE WAY HOME...

WE FIGURED IT WAS FITTING SINCE ON OUR

WEDDING DAY WE WENT TO TACO BELL...

YES, YES WE ARE SUPER CLASSY!

 

MY FAMILY MET US AT HOME

WITH BLAIRE'S FIRST FHE :]

MY MOM GOT HER AN ELF ON THE SHELF!

I LOVE IT!

IM SO EXCITED FOR FUTURE CHRISTMASES!

THEN THEY SNUGGLED BLAIRE

AND KYLE HELPED ME SHOWER!

I NEVER REALIZED HOW THANKFUL I AM FOR BEING

ABLE TO SHOWER ON MY OWN!

I KNOW NOW!

:]

AFTER WE WERE A LITTLE SETTLED IN
OUR FRIEND DILLON
CAME OVER!
HE COULDN'T WAIT TO MEET THE NUGGET!

 

AND THAT WAS THE START

TO OUR NEW LIFE WITH OUR

NEW BABY GIRL

AT HOME!!!
