The update that I promised

I have been slacking with the posting, and I blame the pregnancy LOL. In actuality, I delivered early 7 weeks early.

Leena River was born on 1/1/12. Our New Years baby!!!

She is still in the hospital, and it's killing me now. I just want her home already. The only thing she needs to work on is her breathing. She needs to go 5 days without a spell of forgetting to breathe. She makes good progress, but when she has a set back it is devastating.

She is getting so big now, and she is beautiful!

I really wish she was home already though. I have mini breakdowns every couple of days because it is incredibly frustrating going back and forth, dealing with Lily at home, and the scheduling. It really is exhausting. Not to mention pumping breast milk for the baby is a pain in the ass! I hate pumping I don't know why anyone would choose to pump over breast feeding. Yeah I hate it.

I go visit Leena every day and I make sure to cuddle with her as long as I can. I love my baby girl!

On a plus note, it might be a possibility to bring her home early with an apnea monitor to catch her breathing spells since hers are self resolving and don't need intervention. If we get to go that route she only has to go 3 days with out a breathing spell. She has made it to 3 days a few times already.

Now what you have all been waiting for...... pictures!

Happy Birthday Leena!

Thought for the day

Am I the only one that turns down the radio when I drive into a parking garage?



I know it's been a while, but soooo much has been going on. I will have to catch it all up later when I have the time though.
