So, it's been 4 months since my last, first and only post. I'm hoping it gets easier to find time to sit down and record some of my daily happenings.

I had my baby girl on August 25, 2010. She was 7lbs 5 oz and was 20 inches long. Her name is Isabella Grace James. She is the prettiest baby I've ever seen and I'm not saying that cause I'm her momma.. She really is!!!

I wish I would have kept up writing while she was brand new, so I could have more details. I'll just summarize up to current time.

The last night in the hospital, I decided to keep Bella in the nursery so I could sleep. The next morning the Pediatrician came in and told me that in the middle of the night her breathing was very rapid causing some concern and they wanted to run tests and take x-rays to find out what was causing it.

Her x-rays showed a tiny spot on her lungs and they thought it might be a touch of pneumonia (another doctor said that it wasn't any concern) I'd rather them err on the side of caution. They did blood work and the results came back fine, so they did a spinal tap to check for other signs of infection. Her white blood cells came back a little high which indicated she might have had an onset of infection. They didn't know what it was but they were going to put her on 2 types of antibiotics for 5 days. This meant she had to stay in the hospital during that time. It broke my heart not to have her home with me, so after I was released from the hospital on Friday, I was back up there on Saturday and checked myself in as her primary caretaker. It was no fun to be stuck in a hospital room for 5 days... I wanted my baby home!!

All is well and fine now, she's doing great!!

It's About Time

I've been a blog reader for sooo long for so many blogs and have this strong desire to start my own. I'm always so envious to see other blogs and how it appears there is always something interstering discussed, points made, daily updates on family happenings or just pretty pictures.

I feel somewhat intimidated starting one because I don't know where to begin, what to say, etc... not to mention a blog name, url, layout and all that jazz. I guess the first step is to put something out there and hopefully it will come together in due time. I'm tired of feeling like the kid in the corner feeling left out because I'm choosing to be shy and not participating.. not to mention, I want something to keep my family updated and for my children to look back on.

Plus, the blogging community seems so welcoming and encouraging... So, Blog World, Here I Come!!!

My name is Kathy and I live in a small southern town with my wonderful husband and the greatest daughter I could ask for. My daughter, Georgia, is almost 12 and I'm expecting my 2nd daughter in 2 months and we're all sooo very excited! She's going to be a tremendous help and can't wait to be a big sister.
