Amelia Josephine

Our little angel was born on August 28 at 4:30pm. She wanted to have the same birthday as her daddy, so she decided to be born then! She is doing so well! She was originally on a ventilator, but after only one day she not moved to just nasal air. She is so strong and brave. Believe it or not, she has already started smiling. I think her brother is there keeping her company! We have a long way to go before she gets to come home, but she is on her way.


Amelia was 1 pound 10 ounces and 13 inches long when she was born. Her weight fluctuates daily, but that is normal! We took a photo to show her size in comparison to my hand. It is amazing how little she is. She is so beautiful!!! We are so excited to have her in our family!

Time

I haven't updated my blog in awhile. Since my ultrasound, I spent 3 weeks in Tucson working, a week in Colorado with family and have had no time to update. I had another ultrasound on July 16 (right before our trip to Colorado). Things were going really well. I spent my 29th birthday in Tucson in trial. My trial team had a little birthday lunch for me with cake and a singing balloon! It was funny!

I got home from Tucson on August 4th. I went to my next appointment on Monday Aug 6th and all was great! On Friday the 10th, I was put on hospitalization bed rest. I will be on bed rest until Amelia is born. They are keeping me to be sure my blood pressure doesn't go through the roof and I don't have the same experience that we did last year. I have a much better doctor this time, so we aren't taking any chances. I'm feeling really good right now and have been in here for a week. I'm able to work from here, which is nice. It keeps my mind busy during the day.

I won't be able to add any photos onto my page until I get home. The next set of photos will be our beautiful girl.
