The first few sleepless days

Not sleepless for Selah, just for Mommy, of course!

(And Daddy, he has been VERY helpful when we need something!)

We can home Wednesday afternoon, just as soon as we passed the 24 hour mark. The only concern was jaundice- which both the boys had as well. She saw the doctor again Friday, and she was down to 7 lbs 2 oz., and has "grown" to 19 inches. (Probably a bad measurement at birth they said- or she is going to grow REALLY quick!) jaundice is worse so now she HAS to eat at least every 2 hours. Kind of a pain, since she is a good sleeper-she is SO different from the boys! No signs of the dreaded reflux though, nor any leftover problems from the pregnancy! Her antibody screen came back negative, and she has positive blood so she will never have these issues! They will keep a bit closer eye on her this week, but she should be fine (plus, this is so minor compared to what it could have been!) By the way, her name is pronounced Say lah, rhymes with Jonah and Noah.

Welcome Home Selah!

We weren't expecting her to be quite this small, so her clothes are bit big! Thankfully Jamie sent some newborn stuff as we had NONE, so she has some stuff that fits! (The boys never wore newborn, and barely wore 0-3 for a couple of weeks. Just goes to show you, be prepared for the unexpected!)

Swinging during dinner, notice the boys put their swing with hers!


Selah, entertaining her big brothers by "telling" them stories.


Jonah and Jacelyn hanging out at the fence.
They do this all of the time. It's cute- and pathetic!


Noah hit himself in the eye with a bucket.
Hey, it got him out of cleaning up the backyard!

Selah's first bath at home.

Don't let her fool you, she screamed the WHOLE time!

Like this! We are loving the pink!
