Praying for you!! :grouphug:

Praying for your sweet little one! :grouphug::grouphug:

Yay!! :hurray::hurray: When do the rest of us get to see it? :tongue_smilie:

:hurray: I'm so happy for you!! Here's hoping you get a good, long stretch of wonderful days like today! :grouphug:

:grouphug:

:iagree: If she doesn't know you well, she was being nosy. It would bug me, too.

:D Levi has them wrapped around his little fingers!!

Please don't feel guilty. You didn't want any of that stuff to happen. :grouphug:

Oh, believe me, I understand that all too well with Ds9. With an Aspie, you have to subtract 3 years on a good day. In a crisis? :svengo: I tend to just start chanting, "Don't panic. Take deep breaths. It's okay. Don't panic...." :glare: :D

I'm glad to hear that things are going better at home. It is such a relief to hear that! And thank you for this post; it has been a point of stress for many of us here who wanted to protect your anonymity. Hopefully your situation will resolve itself soon, and you will be able to put all the craziness behind you. ETA: One-handed typing is a great sign! :001_smile:

She just wants her mama back and to know everything is going to go back to normal. She is super-sweet not wanting to upset you, though. :001_smile: It's so hard for them to grow up, isn't it?

:grouphug: :001_smile: Awesome update! I'm so glad that you get to take him home tomorrow. You have done an amazing job getting through this and you are taking great care of that little guy. It's wonderful to hear that he is doing so well now. I am praying that you get good rest and that you can go home as early as possible. In the meantime, it sounds like you and Levi are in good hands, which is good to know because you had us all pretty worried yesterday! Love what you wrote about the mountains (although, I admit, I am in love with all mountains!), and I'm glad that they are there to help you feel stable right now. Sometime just knowing that you will get through the day is a wonderful thing, isn't it? :001_smile: Hang in there and enjoy the precious alone time you are getting with your little one. Before you know it, you will have four other not-quite-so-little ones wanting their mama too! ;) :grouphug:, Andrea

I'm praying for you so hard, sweetie. :grouphug: It sounds like everything is going to be okay in just a little while, but I know it must feel like every second is an hour right now. Please try to get some food as soon as you can; low blood sugar can render a tired brain practically useless. And water, as much as you can stand to drink, is vital for your health and recovery. I know that the nurses' job is to tend to the babies, but honestly, it makes me angry that they can't see a tired, distraught, delivered-a-baby-48-hours-ago mama and have a little compassion and care for you! I mean, in some hospitals, they would still have been pushing you to stay another night yourself for your recovery. And you absolutely should be allowed to be right by the baby's side if that's what you want. There's no reason or excuse that anyone could give that would make me feel otherwise. I know your dh must be with the kids right now, and that's really important, but someone should be taking care of you, too. I hope that your childcare situation will be better tomorrow; it really sucks when you can't count on people that should be there for you. :glare: :grouphug: Tomorrow morning, when you've had some sleep, please tell the nurses firmly but kindly what your wishes are. Talk to a doctor or patient advocate if at all possible. And if firm but kind doesn't work, try yelling, crying, whatever it takes. He is your baby; the doctors and nurses are working for you! Hang in there. Your little guy sounds like he's doing better already, and before you know it, you will get to take him home and put all this far behind you. :grouphug:, Andrea

:grouphug: I'm praying for y'all. You are handling this so well. Cry when you need to, and be as calm as you can the rest of the time. Take deep breaths and talk it out with anyone who will listen. Or talk to us. :grouphug::grouphug:

Praying for you and Levi, A. :grouphug: Try not to worry too much. It is a really good sign that he started nursing well. :grouphug::grouphug:

:tongue_smilie: You tell a great story! But we need the rest of it!

:001_smile:Your kids are so sweet! The girls' reactions couldn't be more different, but they both clearly mean total adoration. :001_wub: Baby Levi is a lucky little guy! Hopefully everyone will sleep better tonight and get well quickly. It sounds like they're gonna be all over that baby! :D

Congratulations!! :001_smile:

Awwww....he's beautiful! And I love the name! Have the other kiddos met their new little brother yet?

Yay!! Congrats to all of y'all! I'm glad it went so well. Take good care of that mama and baby for all of us. :001_smile:

So excited for you! I'll be praying for you, A. :grouphug::grouphug:

Yay!! :grouphug:

Well, at least you tried! :tongue_smilie:

Of those, I like Edmund the best by far. But as a fellow Outlander fan, I have to suggest the obvious.....Jamie! :D
