Jillian's World...brief but beautiful!

The beginnings of life for an enegetic infant

Sunday, July 31, 2005


Our precious little Jillian's doing so beautifully! Found out today that she scored a 9 and 9 on her Apgar score! That means that at 1 minute after birth she made a 9 (10 is a perfect score that NO one ever gives out) and then 5 minutes after birth, she still scored a 9. What a GREAT baby!!!

We're so thrilled that she's a healthy baby girl without any problems! Unlike her sister, she's holding her temperature very well and is eating like a champ! I have a feeling my milk will come in very soon and we'll be able to feed the 5000! She'll be 10 pounds by the end of the month!

Here's the portrait that was taken today by Growing Family. They are the people that come by the hospital rooms and take baby's first portrait. I can't believe she actually smiled! Of course, she is unaware of what she's doing at this point!!

We're feeling better...I'm not on Morphine anymore...and have been given another pain medication as well as an anti-inflamatory to take to help with the tubal pain. My nurse is making me get up and move around already. I had my shower (oh how wonderful it felt!!) and the family has come and gone all day. We've had a lot of visitors and I've had NO SLEEP. I'm up every 2 hours during the night feeding Jillian...and she's eating so well!

Well, I'd better rest. No telling how long I'll have until the fam comes back!!

Love to all...
