Happenings this past week

We brought Hallie home on Monday morning around 11am!  It was wonderful to be home.  Ben's mom brought Chance home around lunchtime and he was so excited that we were home.  He seems to really like as he refers to her "baby sister."  He has even given her a few kisses.  He enjoys seeing her in the morning and saying good night.  It has been fun to see him with her.

My parents came in that evening and my dad left on Wednesday and mom will leave tomorrow.  It has been a busy week!  I definitely think this time around is much easier than when we brought Chance home which seems funny to say.  I feel better than I did with him, not as tired through the night, and making the transition to 2 kids is easier than 0 to 1 for sure!

Hallie is doing well.  In one week she reached her birth weight again.  She is of course a great sleeper throughout the day and usually has once "episode" at night where it takes her a while to settle back down.  We did have a very scary moment on Thursday evening.  She had a chocking episode in the hospital with mucous and we thought it had resolved itself (as they said newborns do in the first 24 hours).  Well not the case.  She was really struggling to breathe and we could not clear the mucous with just the bulb syringe.  The Lord was watching over us and after a call to EMS and the fire department at our house, she was able to clear the mucous and seems fine again.  We took her to the pediatrician and really no explanation on the episode other than the fact she may be developing reflux.  She seems quite content after feedings, really is not fussy, and just the occasional spit-up so I do not know!  So keep our sweet thing in your prayers! 

Enough of that!  Enjoy pictures of our new family of four!!!
