Well, we made it! Tuesday, the 19th, I ended up going to the Dr. at 3:30pm and they sent me right to the hospital to be monitored for a bit. Amber dropped me off at the hospital on the way home from the doctor's office. I was contracting every 3 minutes or so and the pain in my side hadn't gone away so we decided to deliver that night. Jeremy got there at 7pm and the doctor a few minutes after and Lyndsay Grace made her arrival at 8:07pm, 7lbs 13oz and 19 inches long! It was a very good surgery (thank you for praying), quick and complication-free delivery! Praise the Lord!
She's just beautiful and looks like all of our children wrapped up into one with her own features, as well! We are struggling with nursing as usual for me and are supplementing with formula to keep her hydrated! She sleeps good when her belly is full (I am currently waiting for her to wake up because I "need" to feed right now) and very content! The kids all love her - all want to hold her! Erin sits right next to me and leans her head on the baby and loves to hold her hand or foot, whichever is closer or available! Isaac loves to rub her head, Curt likes to hold her hand and talk to her and the girls love to hold her!
I will post more later and have Amber post some pictures as well - just wanted to check in real quick before someone needs me and sitting up like this isn't so comfortable after a few minutes. I have committed myself to making sure I rest more with this one so I can get better and on my feet faster without setbacks so I can enjoy the rest of my time off from work. Pray for a quick recovery and everyone to settle in good! Talk to you soon!
