Emma Is Born
It's been a very long time since I have updated this blog. I was just checking my stats and can't believe that people are still reading this, but apparently they are. I wonder if it's just by accident. :) Incase it isn't, I wanted to let everyone know that my 2nd daughter was born, on June 14th, 2012. She is 5 weeks old now. I have been so busy with lots of different things going on. I did take a voluntary layoff from my work. By doing this, I was able to get my maternity leave, so technically I still have 2 more days left of work. My last work day is in the next few weeks. We pulled Kyla out of daycare about 3 weeks ago. There have been so many changes to get used to. Emma is an amazing little girl - beautiful. We have not been sleeping so good, but she seems to be making a habit out of staying up sort of late, waking up once around 2 AM and then again around 6 AM. Not too bad. I am still pretty wiped out though, dealing with c-section recovery, taking care of Kyla FT (she's not an easy one...) and then taking care of the baby, cooking, cleaning, etc. But I am doing it and I can tell you, I certainly feel like this is where I should be, taking care of my family.
Emma is a healthy baby, there are no ABS signs on her at all...for those of you who might have a first born with ABS and are nervous about having another, don't be....just make sure you have several ultrasounds and a good doctor and things should be fine. I was extremely nervous the morning of the c-section. The doctor was an hour late for the surgery, he had taken a sleeping pill the night before and slept through his alarm clock, so that did not help my nerves sitting around waiting. So by the time he got there I had been crying and shaking before hand...that's how nervous I was. And the great thing about a c-section is they give you absolutely nothing to calm you down before hand. LOL, it's just like OK crawl up on this table and I'm going to make your legs completely numb, then cut you open and pull a baby out of you. They also tell you before hand everything that could do wrong and that doesn't help much. :) But we got through it. I have a fussy baby in my arms now and need to wrap this up.
