My Sweet Baileigh!

Hey everyone! It's actually Lindsay blogging this time instead of Laci! Thanks girl for keeping this updated for me. Fortunately I have a little time between naps and feedings to update this!

First and foremost, I would like to thank God for the precious masterpiece that He sent to Johnny and me. She is the most perfect creation I have ever seen! Of course I'm a little partial! =)

She has been an absolute angel and I have enjoyed these past 6 days immensely!

Of course we've had some crazy nights and one REALLY big scare, but all in all, it's been wonderful. The big scare happened on the first morning that she was home. Johnny had taken the kids to school and he had some work he had to go check on, but my brother who had driven all the way from Boca Raton, Fl. was staying with me. He's an athletic trainer and is certified in CPR (among other things). Well the CPR almost had to be used on little Baileigh because she stopped breathing for about 20 seconds! On the second night in the hospital, the nurse had to finally take Baileigh out of the room for about 3 and a half hours so that Johnny and I could get some sleep. She was absolutely inconsolable and we couldn't figure out what was wrong. She still had some amniotic fluid in her little body when she came home, and mix that with breastfeeding, she got a little choked up.

Back to that morning...Jared could hear her having some trouble breathing, so he was coming in to my room to ask where the little suction thing was. I was up and actually on my way into her nursery at the same time, so we met in the middle. I figured that after he sucked some stuff out of her, that I would change her and then nurse her. When I went to put her in her crib to take off the blanket that was wrapped around her, she spit up and then started choking on it. She almost immediately turned blue! Jared...having worked in emergency situations took her from me and started working on getting the fluid out. He held her and I started sucking the fluid out. Jared was at the point where he was going to give her a breath, but she took one on her own instead! We immediately took her to the doctor and he told us she has reflux. So she's on medicine to help her with that. We fortunately haven't had any more scares like that!

Anyway, Baileigh will already be a week old tomorrow. I'm taking her into the studio to take her pictures. I have been waiting so long for this moment. I can't wait to get in there and capture her like I've done for so many other families. I'll add those hopefully tomorrow! Until then, here are a few pics from the week...

Getting her hearing test done...the nurse said she passed faster than any other baby on the hall!

In her carseat for the first time...getting ready to leave the hospital!
