2 weeks old

Wow! I can't believe that our little blessing is already 2 weeks old. And what a two weeks it has been! Grace arrived on Wednesday, Nov. 9, we came home Friday, Nov. 11, enjoyed the weekend at home with tons of visitors, went for our first dr. appt. on Monday, Nov. 14, found out that she had jaundice, was admitted to Bromen Hospital, spent the next two days there, left the hospital (again) on Wed., Nov. 16, enjoyed some more days at home with more visitors, went to the dr. again on Tuesday, Nov. 22 for a 2 week appt., asked to get Grace's jaundice level tested, found out it had raised, received a phototherapy blanket at home, had a nurse come to our house and get more blood and now we are waiting the results.

What a life she has had so far!

(comment regarding the previous post... little did I know that I didn't have a month left ;) )

Grace Ann arrived on November 9, 2011 at 1:23 p.m. She weighed 5lbs 12oz and was 20in long. Grace is just perfect. What an amazing experience from the moment we found out that we were expecting to the moment she arrived.

We love her to peices and are enjoying every minute of raising her!

1 month!!

I don't know about anyone else, but I can NOT believe that I have only ONE month left until our due date!!! After spending some time in the ER last week due to contractions, it has become very real to us. It was a wake up call and we are now much more prepared as we know that I could go into labor at anytime. The doctors have ordered me to restricted bedrest. I am not to over do it, rest as much as possible. I spent last weekend on the couch accepting help and feeling humbled. I know that I need to do all that I can to prevent Baby Miles from coming too soon so I will continue to try. So far I have had some contractions but nothing like Wednesday evening. Next Friday we get to have one last sonogram.

I am ready for the unknown to be known. I can't wait to meet our precious baby and be able to call he/she one of the names that Cody and I have picked out. I can't wait to introduce him/her to everyone. I can't wait to watch Cody be a dad, he is going to be GREAT! I can't wait to be a mom and know of the kind of love every mom talks about. Thank you God for sending this wonderful gift to us!
