I can't believe its been 11 days since I had our sweet little girl. What an honor its been to have a little piece of heaven in our home. It didn't surprise me that little Lindsey wasn't so little...9lbs 2 oz...are you kidding me!! What did surprise me was she was born with dangerous blood sugar levels. I didn't get to see her for several hours after she was born nor did I even get to hold her much during my 4 day stay in the hospital. She was hooked up to all kinds of machines, IV's in her little hands and to top it all off she had Jaundice really bad. Sad for us. My recovery has been much more painful then last time. I came home very sick in every way shape and form. Matt was sick and Whitney had a terrible cold. Lindsey stayed under the blue lights for the first 4 days she was home which was hard because everyone wanted to hold her and love on her. I had to take her to the doctor for the first 5 days she was home (not exactly what I wanted to do after just having major surgery)to get her little heels pricked. Her poor little feet were black and blue from all the pokes. I'm slowly feeling better each day. She is a very sweet and easy baby so far and the girls just adore her. I am so in love with my girls.

So Sweet! Poor little thing under the lights! Glad she's doing better and hopefully you are. Your 3 girls are beautiful!
Andra, she is the cutest newborn I've ever seen! Those chubby cheeks! Oh my! I am so sorry things have been hard, there is nothing worse than not being able to hold your new baby! With Daniel, I went into shock after he was born and I didn't hold him for four hours. I hope that things get better soon! And I haven't forgotten about your scrapbook pages, they are on my to do list!! I will get them done this month.
I wish I lived closer and could help you out! (how many times have we said we wished we lived closer to each other? haha, maybe someday)
I know the feeling, Tory had really bad jaundice as well and she had to be put in a bed, one us had to stay up with her 24 hours a day to make sure she did not rip her little eye patches off so she would not hurt her eyes. Dosent it just rip your heart out to hear their little squeals when they get pocked! Glad she is feeling better and I hope you are your family start feeling better as well and get some sleep!
She is an adorable baby. Your girls are always dressed so cute!
