Leah's First Night

The first night wasn't as peaceful as many led us to believe. Leah was up most of the night wanting more food while trying to figure out how to eat.

We finally needed to get a much deserved peaceful nap at around 2 am and sent Leah on her first field trip to the nursery. She returned around 5 am for the next round of feeding than slept the rest of the morning.

Leah was checked out by a series of people this morning all with rave reviews. Ears, eyes, heart, and everything else tested really well.

Because Danielle works here at the hospital we have been given one of the biggest and nicest rooms. We also are prepared for the waves of visitors that could be coming the next couple of days since we will probably be stuck here until mid day Thursday.

Please either text or call us prior to visiting so we can make sure Leah and Danielle are up for it.

Trying to Stay Busy

As the days pass Danielle is finding it harder to stay busy. So in efforts to help Megan and Cole came by to visit. We had a great time hanging out and finding odd ways to have a laugh, like load testing the baby swing while on the highest setting.

We concluded the visit with a nice trip to IHOP (haven't been there in FOREVER) for the breakfast potato fusion combo.

14 Days & Counting

14 days to go, Danielle is pretty much in a holding pattern. Leah is still riding high and staying warm and comfy. The past Dr's visit yielded results of no "progress" which needless to say did not make Danielle very happy. Danielle has a meeting for Cheerleading on Wed night, but after that she is ready for Leah to make her appearance.
This is Danielle's 38 week picture. Looks like she is hiding a beach ball! The nurses at Good Sam have stated that Danielle is ALL baby.
