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!!
