I guess I assumed our friends and family knew the story of Lucy...wrong. So here goes:
She was born on the 4th of July, happy and healthy. Later that night, the nurses noticed her breathing was extremely rapid and she was admitted into the NICU. Her breathing regulated after a couple of days, but by then she had jaundice. So, while she was working on maintaining her breathing, she was also working on getting rid of her jaundice. Needless to say, she was in the NICU for 8 days. The hardest part was going home without her. Although I have to admit the silver lining of that gray cloud was knowing she was well taken care of while I was spending time with Luke and recovering myself.
Lucy is now home and doing awesome. We all survived our first night with two children (Lucy slept 4 hours at a time!!) and we're relatively awake this morning! (Naps this afternoon for all of us).
Thanks to our great friends and family for their love and support and help during this...interesting transition into parents-of-two.
