G gallery part 2

G at one week two days, taken earlier today

G just passed her one week mark so here is one picture from today and a few more that were taken by the wonderful photographer from Bella Baby Photographers when she was 4 days old. The pictures turned out so well. Used with permission of Bella Baby Photographers.

So tiny and sweet,

tiny little fingers

and tiny little toes.

Tiny little yawn,

tiny little eyes and tiny little nose,

tiny baby in a tiny baby pose.

Where am I? Who are you?

Day 3 update

Mother & child

I'm not sure how many people besides family look at this blog but for family and close friends here is an update on the new mom and baby.

For those asking for photos here are a few more pictures from day 3. We have been trying not to use a flash however that makes the pictures a little dark. The hospital uses Bella Baby Photographers and they got some really good pictures of G. Check with Mrs. Gimlet or Bee for the link. Their photos will be up until March 3rd.

G day 3

Curly is doing better. She has had several complications including pre-eclampsia and H.E.L.L.P. as well as an infection and losing a lot of blood because one of her clotting factors isn't working. All of these things are/were life threatening issues. She will most likely have to stay a little longer in the hospital and will need lots of help once she gets home. It is a good thing that her mom and dad are here for a week or more and Mrs. G. and I are here after they leave.

Napping again

This entire experience has made all of us so thankful for modern medical care. Bee keeps telling Curly that he is NOT going to be a single parent, she has to get better. G is doing great. She does not have the infection and her IV was removed. She is beautiful, sweet and healthy.

G day 2

We are all so tired . . .

Some of you have been asking for more pictures. Yesterday both Curly and Bee needed breaks and sleep but I don't know how much they got even though I went down to the hospital and held the baby pretty much all day. It was such a hardship! Not. I would happily do it again today but Curly's parents should be there by now. I had my time yesterday and will have more time later. G is a beautiful, sweet baby.

Here are a couple more pictures from yesterday (day 2).

Things are looking a little better . . .

Note:

This labor & delivery story is unbelievable. Too long, too many unexpected complications. Things like this are not supposed to happen in 2012! In case you have wondered about the bandage on G's hand it is an IV connection for antibiotics. Day 2 had some (not expected nor welcome) complications too but things are generally much better and getting still better.
