November 19, 2009 at 12:26pm 7 pounds & 3.3 ounces, 19 inches long Full head of thick & dark black hair just like her daddy!! her & Liz have some similarities, but not too much now. Olivia is looking "better"...not so red & blotchy. This is the only "decent" picture I found that my sister took & uploaded...that Olivias eyes were open in. My grandpa is holding Olivia, it was his 74th birthday the same day she was born! He was SO happy & proud!! :) Im still in the hospital. Feeling a lot better this time around than what I did when I had Liz...so Im happy about that. Not sure when I'll be home, probably Sunday. Liz couldnt be anywhere near Olivia, but we still managed to sneak her in for about 20 minutes, she LOVED Olivia!!! Cant wait to be home and have those 2 bond. BF has been going pretty good, again, easier this time around, but only colustrum has been coming in. I nursed for 2 hours straight, alternating, and Olivia was still hungry, so I gave her formula and she drank that fast, so Im guessing she didnt get too much breastmilk. I am nursing every 2-4 hours. This last time I BF was the first time she seemed hungry after nursing for that long. I know the milk will come in better in a few days and she'll get more. My husband loves Olivia. Hes amazed at how fast they grow and what small miracles they are. he got a video of my c-section and during the whole video Im singing. The spinal block didnt numb me completely, so they gave me a shot of Ketamine, and boy was I really out of it. Ive never felt that way before, I guess you could say I was high. I was flying and seeing all different colors of clouds and I could NOT for the life of me rememer WHY i was there and what the hell was happening!! LOL. I'll be posting more pictures when im home!! Its late. I took a nap until 11pm so Im getting tired once more. Talk to everyone later!! Have a good weekend!!

here in about a hour after I get the hubby & daughter up. I didnt get any sleep...I might have had a few minutes here & there...but I just could NOT fall asleep. Grrr!!! :( I probably wont be back on for a few days, at least until next week sometime. I'll be home on the 23rd, then on the 24th Im getting a root canal... so who knows what kind of pain/mood I'll be in! I'll update & post pictures when I can! Everyone take care! Have a great weekend!!! Hopefully in about 4 hours Olivia will be here! Since I check-in at 10am... they didnt tell me what time surgerys at..but I couldnt eat or drink anything after 10:30pm last night... hopefully theres some good food there for me!! LOL. Take care everyone!!!

I cant eat or drink anything past 10:30 tonight! :( I have to check in between 10 & 10:30am tomorrow... then go from there. *sigh* I always drink nice cold water throughout the night & always have milk & oreos before I go to bed. Who knows when I'll eat again in the hospital and what kind of food they have. Im SOOOOO nervous............

I find out tomorrow what time my c-section is scheduled for on Thursday. Wish I could have known sooner, but oh well I guess. I am so nervous. Liz is staying w/ my grandparents (they are SOOOO excited to have her for a few days! Its nice for Liz to get to know other family besides my"crazy" in-laws...LOL) until Im out of the hospital. They might have her an extra day so hubby & I can be home w/ Olivia for a night, not sure yet. Im sure I packed enough stuff. The only way I'll get to see Liz during the 4 days is if I walk down to a different part of the hospital floor and have a different hospital gown on & then visit with her for a little bit and then go back to my room and change. She wont get to see Olivia at all---so much for cute hospital pictures w/ the 2 girls!! :( We've all been vaccinated w/ the seasonal flu & H1N1 shots 2-3 weeks ago, so its not like we'll be sick or anything...I guess it just upsets me that I cant really see Liz's reaction to Olivia. No one under 18 can be near me (so that leaves out my 3 y/o nephew & 6 & 9 y/o cousins too!)... :( I update tomorrow w/ a time for my c-section. I am just very scared & nervous.... for the spinal tap & the surgery itself!!!

saw this at an online store... called sassy pants..and thought it was SOO CUTE!! It reminds me of Raggedy Anne....
