Lyla came home from the NICU on April 19, so she's been home two weeks tomorrow! She still was having a hard time regulating her temperature so we have to keep her wrapped in multiple blankets. You'd think we live somewhere freezing!
Our little Eskimo
The kids were sooo excited to have Lyla home and finally get to hold her! The day Lyla got home though Hayes woke up with a fever of 102! So he had to stay in his room and we just let him look at her but he couldn't hold her. So we had one child too hot and one that we couldn't keep warm enough! He was so good about staying away from her and not touching her even though he was very disappointed. His runny nose turned into a cough and into bronchitis so we took him in to the dr and got him on antibiotics. That cleared things up quick and he was finally able to hold Lyla Sunday morning after his bath! I had major anxiety that she'd get Hayes' cough and end up back in the hospital but he was good about staying away and prayers were answered and she hasn't gotten it.
Can you tell he was excited! They have been such good older siblings!
and some more random photos of Miss Lyla.
She has been a bundle of joy..literally a bundle with all her blankets but we've been easing off wrapping her so much this week and she seems to be doing okay. The girl is going to have a fear of thermometers when she is older and not know why, she gets her temperature taken so often!
She doesn't cry much, When she is hungry she just sucks like crazy at her hands, if I don't catch on that she is hungry she will let out one little Muwah! and if I don't come she'll wait a few minutes and let out another little cry just to remind me she is still there and hungry. Guess got the memo ahead of time that she'd have to have some patience!
She hasn't slept more than 4 hours at night, she is like clockwork and starts sucking noisily on her hands as soon as the three hour mark has hit. She hasn't ever stayed awake at night though so at least it's just a quick feeding and back to bed. Although I don't remember being this exhausted with Kamri or Hayes. I probably was, just have mom amnesia so I have more babies... I'm grateful Bracken stays up for the late night feeding to give her a bottle so I can get a little more sleep!
She gets hundreds of kisses a day from Kamri and Hayes has been trying to teach her how to roll over, she wasn't catching on quick enough for him so he decided to start with just having her lift her head...slowly but surely he's happy to note she is making some progress!
We sure love Lyla, she seems like a very mellow, patient baby...we hope it stays that way!
