Today was the day you were due.
Thank you for coming four weeks early and thank you for being so healthy!
The day of your arrival, I had been contracting all day. Some big ones, some small ones. Close together and far apart. I just wasn't sure when you were coming. I had scheduled 3 haircuts for the day. One by one, I got through each one of them with some big and small contractions. But still not sure of what was to come. After my last client left at about 7:00 p.m. my contractions were much stronger and more regular. And by 9:00 p.m. I was dying to get to the hospital. So afraid to be sent home, I begged the nurses to let me stay. To everyones surprise, I was at an 8. The next hour seemed to fly by like seconds and before I knew it, you were here!
11:11 p.m. June 3rd 2010.
We were SO excited to welcome you into our family! We couldn't wait to meet you!
Your siblings were so excited to meet you! They couldn't get over how cute and tiny you were!
They welcomed you home with lots of excitement...
and so did Nana and Grandpa.
Your sisters just giggle at your cuteness.
Cole is so happy to finally have you here. His brother. I'm near tears anytime I see Cole interact with you.
It's just precious.
Leaving the hospital you had jaundice. My prayers were answered and you were able to come home with me. As long as we used lights at home.
After 4 days of using the billi blanket, the doctor ordered the billi bed for the weekend. I cried and cried(I'm such a wimp). All I wanted to do is hold and love on you. All weekend you were a champ in there and I cheated plenty and took you out to hold you. Thankfully by Monday, your health improved and we no longer had to use the billi bed. I was ready to throw all that equipment out the door!
Now you're 4 weeks old. Wow time has flown!
I love how you are still little. Weighing 6 lbs. 6 oz.
and the same size as an American Girl doll.
I do everything I can to enjoy these new moments with you.
I can't even express in words how much I love you frankie!
Your beautiful little eyes calm my soul.
Happy due date!
