Oy! It's probably going to be impossible to catch everyone up at this point. It's all a blur. Also, Hubby's 1st anniversary gift... out the window! Do we all remember ages ago (my last post) how Whitaker made us pick an extra pumpkin? Well, turns out I was, in fact, pregnant with his little sister, but we didn't know it yet!!!
We welcomed little Livian Grace on 7/7/12 at 8:59am. She was 20 inches long and weighed 8 pounds, 5 ounces. When they laid her on me, no one thought she was that big. She's been a GREAT baby and sleeper. She's giving us some decent stretches of sleep, and she barely cries!
That being said, she hasn't been too, too easy on us. She made is to 21 days of life before she made her first ER visit. Her umbilical cord site didn't heal very well. So, I took her in to the doctor last Friday and they cauterized it. Then, it was still red Saturday, so I took her back in where they gave us a topical antibiotic. Of course, no pharmacy had it in stock, so Joe drove to Pewaukee to get then. Then, she isn't on my insurance yet, so we had to pay full price if $125. I put the ointment on, and her belly got all red, so I called the on-call MD and we had to go to the ER. Thankfully, the ointment had "washed out" some of the silver nitrate on to her skin and "burned it." Thus, the redness was "burn" and not infection, THANK GOD.
Whitaker also had not 1, but 2 rounds of antivirals for some "mouth owies." So, he went and stayed at Joanie and Grandpa's for a week, and then sporadically after that. Last night we had his last t-ball game, which Joanie and Grandpa also came to.
I'll try to post a blog with some actual dates on it sometime when I get a moment to myself. Right now there's a crying baby. :)
