Well, here we are at my due date! And we have almost a 3 week old! Amazing. How my life has changed? Well, my house is a pit of a mess. And since every doctor I see tells me to rest when she rests, the house stays a pit of a mess.
Courtney rules the roost around here now. We bow to her every whim, and don’t mind doing it! She eats about every 2-3 hours round the clock. On rare occasion we get a 4 hour stretch, but it’s never when I am trying to sleep too. Last night we had a 4 hour stretch from 5am-9am, but during that time, the dogs had to be let out and fed, so I was awake and not able to sleep during that whole 4 hour stretch. But, hopefully the 4 hour stretches will start to come more and more.
She loves her swing, now that we figured out which way to swing her. The swing we got can swing side to side or front to back. We were swinging her side to side, and then I got the brilliant idea to try it the other day one way because she didn’t like the side to side motion. Well, now she likes the swing and will sit in it quietly for some time. She is in it now, awake and happy.
I can tell that she has changed a bit, she is growing for sure. To me she looks more like a baby now instead of a newborn. But strangers are always stopping us and saying, ‘oh, she is so cute and so small’ and then the most popular comment: ‘and look at all that hair!’ Yes indeed, all that hair. I have noticed it has started to thin a bit, hopefully she won’t loose all of it!
Well, I am going to spend time with her, since she is awake, and we don’t get much awake time! Hope all of you are well, and thank you to all of you who have sent cards, called, stopped by and let us know you were thinking of us! We are so grateful for all of our family’s and friend’s support since we told everyone I was pregnant! It really means the world to both of us!

Another trip to the Doctor's
We went to the doctor again on Tuesday. Courtney weighed in at 6 lbs, 10 oz! So, she is back up above her birth weight. That is good news.
Other than that, things here are the same. She is a good baby. She feeds about every 2-3 hours, including at night. I would love if we could get that to stretch out to every 3-4 hours at night, I would be in heaven. But, I nap whenever I can for now.
She is still a pretty mellow baby, I guess (that is what I think, but then again, I have never done this before). She really only cries when she is hungry. It’s going to be interesting to see how she is when she is older.
Well, I need to go and put some sod down on some dug up patches in our back yard. Hope everyone is well!

Tired
I can’t believe it’s almost been two weeks since little Courtney made her grand entrance. I can’t believe that this time 2 weeks ago I was still in the hospital! In some ways, it feels like forever ago, and in others ways, just yesterday.
We went and had dinner at our friends Tony and Kelly’s house last night. They have a daughter who is 13 days older than Courtney. They are struggling with some acid reflux issues with her, just as they did with their 2 & ½ year old. We hadn’t seen Hailey in 2 weeks roughly and I couldn’t get over how much she had changed just in those 2 weeks! They really do grow up fast!
I know that Courtney all ready has 3 outfits she is no longer able to wear, including the one we brought her home from the hospital in. She is not able to straighten her legs out in them now! I know she sure has changed since she was born! We do have more pictures to post, Hubby just has to get the card out of the camera and get them posted. I will remind him to do that.
I am feeling pretty exhausted today for some reason. I have had a couple naps all ready today. I don’t know if the week is catching up with me or what. So, we are taking it easy today and tomorrow.
Maggie still has a cone on her head, poor dog, to TRY to prevent her from licking her stitches. However, being as flexible as she is, she can get her nose to her cut and lick them anyway. So, we have to keep an eye on her and stop her when she does it. She has the little scab underneath the cut licked off and raw. Silly dog.
Well, Courtney is starting to fuss so I better go grab her. Hope everyone is well.

Still here!
I can’t believe it’s all ready been 1 week and 4 days that little Courtney has been here! We aren’t in any kind of routine yet, other than eating and sleeping. It will take us a while to get into a routine,
She is a pretty mellow baby if you ask me. She only cries when she is really hungry and I am trying to finish doing something before feeding her. If I ignore her ‘I’m hungry’ squawks, then she will start to cry. But other than that, she is a quiet little girl.
I am hanging in there okay. I am still pretty sore. Being in a hospital bed for 3 weeks prior to her coming, turned my muscles into mush. Then giving birth to her and using the mushy muscles really made for a workout. So, I am still recovering. My muscles from head to toe are still sore! I need to have a masseuse come to the house.
Well, little Miss Courtney is sound asleep right now, so I am going to use that to my advantage and take a shower. Hope all of you are well!

One whole week as parents
Well, we successfully made it through one whole week of being parents. You can’t see my kitchen counter or table, but the baby is happy and healthy. She has had a couple outings all ready. We have gone to Hubby’s work twice, lunch twice and the vet once. Oh, and the doctors office again this morning. Her weight came in at 6 lbs, 2.5 oz. So, she has gained back a little bit of weight. We have to go back in another week for another weight check.
We went to the vet this morning on an unplanned trip. Courtney and I had just come home from the doctor’s office, and Hubby had gone off to work. I let the pooches outside, and when Maggie came back in she kept stopping to lick the upper part of her back leg. So, I took a closer look to see what she was up to and saw a gash! So, off we went to the vet’s office. I ended up having to leave her there and she ended up with 4 or 5 stitches. Hubby picked her up this afternoon; she is pretty sedated right now. So, she is just lying around. We have to go back in 10 days to get the stitches out.
Last night was one of our most awake nights since little Courtney came home. She was up from about 2:30am on. She didn’t want to lie in her bed, she wanted to be held. She started doing that again this afternoon. Seems that now in the afternoon and evening, she figures being held is much better. And she also thinks that being held by Daddy is the best. So, she is currently laying on his tummy sound asleep.
Since she is sleeping, I guess I should try to take advantage of that by getting some things done, like finding at least a piece of my kitchen counter. I think it’s under all the dishes, bottles, and food….

All done!
Well, great news! Courtney is done tanning…. Meaning, we got up and took her to the hospital again this morning for another test. The doctor called around 11am and said that he was very happy with her levels and that we are DONE with the light therapy! Yea! We still put her in the sun now and again as she is still a little yellow, but she is free to roam about the house! It’s wonderful!
It’s amazing how I no longer keep track of time, except to know when 2 hours has gone by so I can feed her. And I no longer keep track of days. I haven’t really been keeping track of either for a while now, due to the fact that for the last month, I really haven’t needed to! I will have to get used to that again.
Anyway, this is just a short post to let everyone know that her levels dropped and she is now off the photo therapy! I am going to feed her and then probably crash out! I am exhausted!

What did we get ourselfs in for?
Well, life as a parent is proving to be much more difficult than we originally thought. But then again, so is Courtney. We knew she was having some jaundice issues when we came home. We went for another test on Thursday morning, and her level was way up, so in came the photo therapy. A local company that delivers medical supplies brought us what they refer to as a double bank of lights. We have to keep little Courtney on a bed of lights with a panel on her chest just about 24 hours a day for now.
We went to the pediatrician this morning and then for another blood test. Her level is beginning to drop, but it’s still not nearly low enough for her to come off the lights. Her weight is down to 6 pounds. I know, it’s common for them to lose weight after birth, but now we also have to go back for a re-check of her weight next week. Since she is so small to begin with, they really don’t want her to lose any more.
We thought for a while there yesterday, also, that we were having some feeding issues with her as well, but I think we have them all figured out. Today seems to be a much better day than yesterday.
It’s extremely hard having her under the lights all the time. We can’t pick her up and hold her any time we want. She is allowed out only for feedings and diaper changes. Then right back under she goes. But, as the doctor said, the more time she spends there now, the less time she has to do it in the long run. So, we are hoping that we need to get another test on Sunday that will show low enough levels that we can take her off the lights.
She is doing amazingly well. I can’t imagine it’s easy for her either to lie there all day. We try to spend as much time with her in the room as possible. We sleep in there in shifts so that she knows that we are still around, since she can’t get up and move around the house with us. Normally, we wouldn’t be far away for long periods of time, so we try to be with her as much as possible.
Maggie has been extremely affected by this as well. She wouldn’t leave the nursery last night. She spent all night in there with her. Bristol usually is as well, however, I was able to coax him out to sleep with me in the bedroom for Hubby’s nursery shift. Maggie wouldn’t though. Whenever we are in the nursery, so is Maggie. She is the little protector I guess. She loves the little baby.
So, now we just wait. The doctor wants us to get another test tomorrow morning and if all is well, we might just have her off the lights by the end of the weekend! Here’s to hoping!
Time to go and hold her hand and take her temperature (we have to take her temp every 2 hours while she is on the lights).

Home Sweet Home
I was trying to post this one yesterday, but was having issues, so here it is a day late:
Yes, the rumors are true; they actually let me LEAVE the hospital! Of course they made me leave with a kid, and no nurse or doctor to answer all my questions personally, and be at my beck and call! I have to get my own apple juice now…
So, 3 and a half weeks roughly in the hospital, start to finish. I can not thank everyone enough for all the emails, cards, calls, visits, and FOOD! And I can not express enough gratification to my wonderful Hubby who was with me almost every night (he got a total of 2 nights off the whole time) and my mother, who we still haven’t let leave for her own home.
They started the inducement process on Sunday night (9/10) at 8:30pm. By 2am I was asking for drugs!! I had my epidural around 8:30am, GOD BLESS the person who invented the epidural! I don’t know how I would have made it through without! It did start to wear off at one point, and I think Hubby was pretty sure I wasn’t going to make it. But the doctor came in, gave me a heavy extra dose, and things were MUCH better. I did not have a textbook delivery, there were a few complications, but they were all together pretty minor and the most important thing is that Courtney arrived safe and sound eventually, at 5:57pm Monday night! So, 21+ hours of labor, all for this little creature who is the most adorable thing!
We spent the next 2 nights in the hospital. We were put in a room that was not a private room, but thankfully, the first night Labor and Delivery was slow, and Hubby was actually able to sleep on the other bed. He liked that. However, the next night the ward was FULL and we got roommates at 10pm. That really made me want to cry, I had been there SO LONG and it was my LAST NIGHT, and we were now crammed into half a hospital room. However, we survived, somehow, without going insane and we finally came home Wednesday around 1pm.
I sat in the nursery that afternoon and rocked her in our new glider, and looked around the room. That is the most incredible nursery I have ever seen. It couldn’t be more perfect and it makes me feel so calm when I am in there. It’s just perfect for her; it will really let her know how much she is loved. I can’t thank Suzi and Zak enough for the wonderful job they did.
The dogs took to her extremely well. Buddy of course doesn’t care. Bristol and Maggie however, both protector her like there is no tomorrow. If she whines, cries or coos they jump up and run to her and make sure she is okay. You can tell that they can tell that she is ours to stay.
Our first night home with her was okay. Around 11pm it really hit me that I had only had about 5 hours of sleep since she was born. (And never mind the fact I really did sleep the night that I was in labor also). So, I pretty much just did feedings last night and had Hubby handle the rest. Around 2:30am she got in a mood where she was going to be fussy unless she was being held. We let Nana take over at that point. She stayed with Nana until 6am, and was happy as a clam.
We did have to take her back to the hospital this morning for more tests. She is pretty Jaundice, and we are trying to determine if we are going to have to do the at home treatments. We are currently waiting for the doctor to give us a call. She also has her first pediatrician’s appointment tomorrow morning!
Well, I have tons more to tell all of you, but currently Little Miss Courtney is sleeping and for me, that means I need to sleep too! Here is her link for pictures; we will keep as updated as we can:

Almost There
I am still hanging in there! At least there is an end in sight! Hopefully by this time next week we will be proud parents, and then on our way home. We shall have to see!
My friend who just had her baby girl last week, came to see me yesterday. I got to hold her baby girl for the first time. Hubby and I had gone upstairs and saw her while they were here in the hospital, but I didn’t hold her during that time. So, yesterday I got to hold her. It was great, she is so small! And is she cute!
I have had visitors just about daily. The visitors have been great! It sure makes the time go by! And it’s great to see family and friends. It’s very hard for me, a very social person, to sit here in my room alone most of the day. But I have gotten excellent at watching TV. And most of the visitors have brought food, which I also GREATLY appreciate! So, thank you to all of you who have stopped by, and also to those of you who have brought food!
Speaking of visitors, we have appreciated all of you visiting, but we are asking that starting with Sunday, we have no more visitors until the baby arrives. We want to get plenty of rest for the events of next week.
Well, I am awaiting the arrival of my breakfast tray, and I am going to check my email. I don’t know that I will update this again for awhile, maybe Saturday, but who knows. If I don’t update this for awhile, please forgive me! And hope all of you are well!

36 & 3/7
Well, still here in the hospital, of course. Today we are 36 & 3/7ths weeks. ALMOST full term, it’s on the horizon. We are having rougher and rougher nights. Each evening I start having stronger and stronger contractions. Last night they were in my back also. So, they checked me and I am 1cm dilated. But of course, that could stay that way until they induce me. I am getting frustrated with having such strong contractions every night. They don’t hurt but they aren’t fun either. And since there is nothing coming from them, I am just not happy that they keep happening. Last night was the roughest evening yet, and we thought ‘MAYBE’, but no, they gave me a shot to help with the contractions that weren’t doing anything and then a sleeping pill and all calmed down.
I think I forgot to mention something last week. You will never believe who came to see me last Friday. Bart, the cat from Wag N Wash. Yes, a cat. Christine from the store brought him in, in a carrier. He plopped down right on my pillow and crashed out. He was so cute and it was so good to see him. He is a very well behaved cat, unlike his sister Lisa who can be a real brat. So, she didn’t come to visit.
Well, my lunch should be arriving any moment, so I am going to end this here. I will update again in a few days! If I disappear, then maybe the contractions finally caused something to happen!

36 Weeks
Well, not much has changed, I guess. We had another bio-physical test on Friday. Baby girl K got another 10 out of 10. So, she is healthy! Today is our 36 week mark! Yea! More time goes by.
The doctor has also now decided that once I hit 37 weeks, they will induce me. We do not know what day yet, but sometime in a week and a half we will be parents!
Bailey, a dog friend of ours, came back to visit this morning. She is a certified Therapy Dog, so she got more time under her belt practicing! She is such a cute little dog, and she just gets up on the bed with me gives kisses! It’s nice to think that hopefully within two weeks I will be home with my own furry kids! (And my own shower, that’s one thing I REALLY miss, it my shower).
Hubby is spending his first night at home in two weeks tonight. Its parent’s weekend at the Academy and our 2 cadets and their parent’s are coming over for dinner tonight. He is going to make ham, deviled eggs, asparagus and mashed potatoes. Sounds tasty, I am sorry I have to miss it. But my friends Sherry and Cady called to say that they are bringing me dinner! I am looking forward to that.
Our friends Tony and Kelly had their baby on Tuesday. After a rough last few days, they hopefully will soon be able to start getting into their new routine at home. Their new baby daughter is adorable and healthy!
Well, that’s all the new and exciting news I have from here.

I am looking forward to that.
Our friends Tony and Kelly had their baby on Tuesday. After a rough last few days, they hopefully will soon be able to start getting into their new routine at home. Their new baby daughter is adorable and healthy!
Well, that’s all the new and exciting news I have from here.
