Goodbyes

mom and dad left today, it was a very sad day. they have been here for 3weeks and went home today. these are some last pictures that we took. i dont know what i would do with out them. they have taken care of so much while they were here, laundry, meals and cleaning, but most of all just helping with the baby and good company. they were such a big help, i dont know what im gonna do with myself. i havent had to do much in the last 3weeks. i just want to know how much i love them and i cant wait to see them again in august.



charlee is sure going to miss you!
this is my dad and i in front of the diner that we ate at today. we both like to watch diners, drive ins and dives, so my dad looked up some places and we chose this one call the happy day diner. it was pretty good.

Fort Mchenry

To hell and back

what a title buts its true! i ended up back in the hospital on monday afternoon. saturday night i woke up not breathing so well, sunday night it happened again but worse. i had tightness in my chest, shortness of breath and hyperventilating, i was also really swollen, jake called my feet "elephant feet". jake and i decided that i need to go to the er. when we got there, they thought that i had a pulmonary emblolism(a blood clot in the lung) and congestive heart failure. so i got admitted and they did a chest x-ray, ct scan, and a echocardiam gram(an u/s of the heart). it was pretty scary. at one point i had like 5 doctors standing around me trying to decide what to do. based on my exams i didnt have a PE, but i did have fluid around my lungs. they deicded to give me lasics to get the fluid out of my lungs and get my swelling to go down. they put me in the ICU for 2nights. eventually my ob diagnoised me with pre-ecclampsia and anemia. my blood pressure was also really high at one point it was 166/101, which is like outrageous for a person like me. they gave me magnesium sulfate to help with that. they moved me down to the ob floor since i was am postpartum. my blood pressure would go up and down and now they have me on a bloodpressure med. so the last 2weeks have been pretty scary, its no fun being in the hosp for that long and not getting to see your new baby. i want to thank everyone for all their prayers in my behalf. also for my parents and husband. i couldnt have gotten in through without them. they have been taking care of charlee, doing laundry, and cleaning the house. also my husband who came and sat at the hosp with me everyday and taking such good care of our little girl. she defintaly a daddy's girl! i never imagined that this would happen, def not the experience that i wanted after i had a baby.

pictures

we took some pictures at the hosp and you can go and look at them. theres only 4 of them. my mom bought the dress and its too cute. the web site is www.our365.com so go and look.

Jaundice Baby

so charlee has had some jaundice. she had to be put on the lights. we had to take her to the doctor today and get her checked out and they did another test and told us that her billi has gone down. im so relieved that it went down, we can take her off the lights now, but we have to go back to the doctor on monday to get her checked again, to make sure shes doing good.

Our baby girl

we finally got to bring out little girl home today. we were in the hospital all week long. i know you've all been waiting for some pictures of little charlee. my labor actually went pretty well, my epidural worked great and i progressed rather quickly. it all went down hill when i hit 9cm and labor kinda stalled. charlee was turned the wrong way, and her heart rate was going up and down. after pushing for a little while, the doctor decided that i might not be able to push her out so i had to go into the OR. i tried pushing some more and then the doctor decided that i had to have a c-section. the last thing that i wanted. so charlee was born at 7:49pm. after going through what i did my dad and brother flew in that night and got here the next morning, my uncle picked them up from the hosp and im so thankful that they could be there. also i want to thank my home teachers nate and james that came and gave me a blessing. so here are pictures while we were in the hosp.



my sister in law stacy gave charlee this hat and i love it, its a little big for her now, but its too cute!
these are the proud grandparents of charlee, finally a little girl to add to the bunch

Baugher's Farm...Strawberry Pickin'

on saturday we went strawberry pickin'. lori and nate miller told us about this farm that we could go and pick our own fruit! we decided that it would be fun to go. so we called up nate and lori and we went to baughers farm. this is us with our finished box of strawberries. it was great fun but it was really humid and hot, good thing we went in the morning!

What a Surprise....

so i was totally surprised when my sister walked through the door on friday afternoon. jake and my family have been keeping this secret from me for 2weeks. on friday jake worked from home and told me that he had to go to the office for a "meeting" and he was really picking her up from the airport! i had no idea that she was coming, what a great surprise! im so thankful that she could be here. it will be great to have her there in the delivery room.

no baby....other visitors

so no baby yet, still at 2cm. yes ill probably be a 2 all week and end up having my baby on my induction date of the 9th. i think shes too happy in there, still moves a ton, no pains just some feet swelling. mom and dad will be here soon. my mom gets here on tomorrow and dad comes on the 11th. i cant wait to see them. it will be great to have them here. arent they a cute couple in this picture. this is at carters blessing. i wish they were bringing the boys with them too. i miss them and growing up way to fast.
