Never a Dull Moment

Well...it has been quite the adventure already with our new little one Lauren. About an hour after Lauren was born the nurses noticed that she was having trouble breathing. After a couple hour stay in the NICU she was released back to the newborn nursery with a perfect bill of health. They think that she swallowed alot of fluid at birth and was having trouble clearing it from her lungs. She is doing great now and seems to be a pretty easy going baby. With a hat on I think she looks alot like Hannah did at birth, but she has much lighter and less hair than Hannah did. She is doing well with nursing and can't wait to meet her big sister again today!

I of course couldn't make it simple either. After getting up to go to the bathroom I became very
light headed and fainted. I fell and hit the floor and scared both Dustin and the nurse. Other than being sore today I didn't do any major damage. They think it was from my blood pressure dropping and the epidural wearing off and all the things my body had done yesterday. Nothing to worry about.

We are at Medical Center of Plano in Women's Services in room 222. Call to make sure we are not nursing, but otherwise we would love to have visitors. Thank you for your prayers.
