The Last 2 Weeks

It's been a busy 2 weeks, and my internet has been down, so I haven't been able to blog about it. So sorry to those of you who have been waiting to see the whole reason it's been busy...Emersyn is here!It was a great Labor and Delivery. Everything went very smoothly, and I feel great. Just one contraction and 3 pushes, and Emersyn Sade Wall was born. How nice! She weighed 7 lbs 5 oz. was 20 inches long, and has a beautiful head of hair! HOORAY!Adelynn was so excited when we came home from the hospital and her baby sister was finally here. She kissed her and hugged her and pretty much attacked her. It was very sweet though. She is having a little bit of a time adjusting, but it isn't directed toward her sister at all. It's defiance directed toward her mommy, but she is very excited about "baby Emi".
Big kisses for baby sister. I think Emi has had a lot of those these last 2 weeks!
After her first sponge bath. Eyes wide open and lookin' so cute!Grandma Witters spent the week with me taking care of any slack that I couldn't pick up. She was a huge help, and it was so fun to have her here as well! Emi looks pretty fond of her don't you think?It's a special privelage to be allowed in the "princess chair" and Adi was quick to make sure baby Emi got to sit with her in it. How nice of her to share!
And here is Adi occupying Daddy's time by making him play dress up. He'll be great with two little girls, don't you think? I love my two little girls!!!
Saying goodbye to Grandma and Grandpa. It was hard, but I managed to keep my tears in check until they left because I knew if I let myself go, I would never gain control, and wouldn't let my mom go!

Well, after Grandma left and I thought I was getting the hang of things, Emi's eye got infected, and then swelled up SO HUGE so we took her to the Doctor and found out both of her tear ducts are closed. An infection had backed up really bad into the left eye and when the doctor just barely touched it, puss oozed everywhere. Here is a pic of her eye when we first decided to take her to the Doc.
It was so sad. The doctor was very concerned because she is so little, and the infection can apparently get into her spinal column and cause all sorts of problems there, so she was sent straight to the hospital to get an IV for medicine.
We were there for 3 days and 2 nights, and it was pretty sad and quite stressful. And now that it is over, the stressful part isn't. One of the medicines she had to be on can cause hearing loss and kidney damage, so she has to go back in for a hearing test in the next few months I guess. So as if worrying about your newborn with paralysis isn't bad enough, they throw on ya hearing loss, and kidney damage. Gotta love doctors! Anyway, she is looking LOADS better now, and we are back home. She is on an oral antibiotic for the next 10 days, and we will monitor the closed tear ducts for the next 6 months. At least for now they don't have to be opened manually.
Well, there is a catch up of the last 2 weeks. Hopefully with our internet up and running I can keep you all better posted on my 2 little angels.
