Arriving at the hospital

Here is where the baby goes - hats and blankets all ready!
Here's where Mum goes
The delivery team - Clare's mum, Mike, and Mike's mom
After the epidural - smiling again!
Our nurse, Kim Nappa, who worked 7am-7pm. She was so disappointed that the baby didn't arrive before 7pm!
Hannah arrives! Getting checked out by the NICU team (neonatal intensive care)
Hannah meets Mum for the first time.
And then she gets to meet Dad
Getting weighed in the NICU - 8lbs
Getting checked out in the NICU
The next day - getting some snuggling with Grandma
So contented. They had to put the IV (drip) in her head because it wouldn't go in her hand. We both needed antibiotics until we went home.
Wide awake!
Cuddling with Dad
Even more cuddling with Grandma
Meeting her big sister, Brittani
Meeting her Aunt Kristi and cousin Maddie
Ready to go home
And then home, in an outfit and cardigan from Great Grandma
Finally at home with Mum and Dad.
Ready for bed
Day 3 - all snuggly in the morning
Wearing her "A UK/USA Production" onesie that Brittani gave her
Wide awake again! The bruise is from where they tried to put the IV in.
Just hanging out
A big yawn
Meeting her cousin Lexi for the first time
Hannah's first cloth diaper!
Meeting her Aunt Jo-Ann
Cousin Maddie gets to hold Hannah
Meeting her cousin Nicholas
Meeting her cousin Casi
Watching the football game with Daddy
In case you were wondering, I had a fever that came on during labor so Hannah was sent to the NICU for a couple of hours and had an IV put in to give her antibiotics in case the infection passed to her (it didn't).
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous record of the birth. I'm so glad that you were well looked after with lots of family around you. Give Hannah a hug from me x
