Navie's First Doctor's Appointment

Navie had her first doctors appointment today. It went perfectly. She has grown 1/4 of an inch and is now 19 3/4 inches long. She is nursing well because she is now back to her birth weight. She even weighs and an once more at 6 lbs. 6 oz. : ) She has another appointment in 3 weeks (the 1 month old check up). They want to make sure that she continues to gain weight the way she has.

Boy is she a sleeper!!!! She literally sleeps all day! I even have to wake her up to nurse which isn't as easy as it sounds. She sleeps like a rock : ) She is up several times in the middle of the night but it isn't too bad. I have to do most of it because I want Cris to get as much sleep as he can. Since he drives for FedEx I don't want him to be drowsy. He keeps insisting on helping but since I seem to wake up before Navie starts to cry I kinda get there first : ). My mother's intuition gets me up so Cris most of the time doesn't know : ). Cris has been such a great help. I couldn't have asked for a better husband. It was hard at first getting out of bed because of my C-Section and Cris was right there to get Navie and comfort her until I could get up. Its still hard to do things around the house but I'm getting a lot better. I can even sleep on my side now (with a pillow under my side to help support my leftover belly : ) ). I have lost 20 lbs since before Navie was born. Most of that was from the birth. I can't really do to much right to loose more weight because of my C-Section but as soon as I can I want to get the weight off. Wish me luck : )

Navie is here!!!!

Well everyone, i'll apologize in advance if this isn't grammatically correct. I'm in a little hurry. We went in yesterday at 7:00 am for a biophysical profile sonogram. they said everything was normal, but navie had flipped into a breech position. this worried us a little bit, but not too, much thinking they were going to just have her wait a little to see if she would turn. so at 8:45 we head to mcdonalds to get brooke something to eat, when lo and behold, the doctor's office calls saying that we need to come in immediately and brooke's not to eat anything because she will have an urgent c-section. needless to say this upset us greatly. brooke was totally frightened and worried. we get to the office and they say that she wasn't dilated at all, and the cervix didn't drop and since she was breech they needed to go in right away. we get to the hospital at around 10:15, get prepped and shuffled off to the OR. Navie was born at 11:15 am. She was 6 lbs. 5 oz. 191/2 inches long. she's doing great, having a little trouble feeding, but what do you expect? she was forcefully extracted from her cozy warm house. :) she's cute as a button too, the little pumpkinhead. thank you for all your prayers and support. we very much appreciate it. more updates to follow, but for now, i have to run back to the hospital. ~~~Cris
