Our newest addition arrived on Wednesday June 17, 2009 at 9:48 a.m. Elle Sampson weighed in at 7lb 9 oz. and 21" long. She beautiful, but I'm partial. We are so glad for her to be here and to join our family.
It's been a crazy week since we got home from the hospital. Beck came down with tonsilitis. We took him to the doctor who started him on antibiotics, but his throat was so sore that he reufsed to eat or drink anything. He became so dehydrated that he didn't even have tears anymore, so Monday night we spent at the hospital with Beck who had to get an IV. Very traumatic! Not just for Beck, but for a crazy, hormonal, emotional Mom. The nurses said he would calm down after the IV was in place, but he screamed and cried for 2 more hours. Usually they would leave and IV line in for 12 more hours in case he needed more fluids, but the doctor was so concerned that Beck wouldn't sleep if they left it in so they took is out early. Today he is starting to act more like himself. He even slept last night! Awesome! We might actually get back to our normal routine soon.
Through all this craziness Cambelle has been wonderful. She is such a great help with two babies at home. She is so patient with Beck and with me. And she absolutely adores her baby sister!
Poor Cody is probably completely exhausted. He was the lucky one who stayed up with Beck this last week, while I was up with the baby. Then every morning, he's off to work. No rest for the weary I suppose.
Elle is an excellent baby. She sleeps and eats really well. What a blessing!
Thanks to everyone for their love and support!
