Baby Jade seems to be getting bigger, she even has a double chin now. We're just having another lazy night at home watching Blades of Glory. We've had some fun times with out little girl, we went and got j-dawgs the other day (a yummy hot dog place on byu campus). Nothing else really to report, babies are kind of boring. So i'll just add some pics now.

Daddy's day off

YAY!! no work today, tomorrow, or the next day!! Hooray!! And what do Jade and Daddy do on his day off?? Take pictures of course!!! I'm a little rusty behind the lens, but I think I pulled off some good shots. Photoshop skills don't hurt either.

No more for now though!!! The rest are going into her birth announcement.

Yay!! No more waiting. Things are going well, Jade and I just got back from the hospital. Her bilirubin count is going down so she got to come home with me. She's a totally chill baby, she hardly ever fusses. Here's a few more pics.

Baby Jade is officially 2!!!!

Two days of course!!!

She's been doing really good!! She's eating a lot more, and even smiling! She's making some good effort at breast feeding, even though mom's milk hasn't come in yet, and she is such good snuggler.

Today we let her lay naked in her basinet for a little while during changing since she's really lethargic all wrapped up, and she was rolling from side to side and sucking on her little hands. She even scooted herself all the way to the bottom of the basinet with her frog legs!

Her bili count is up a little (75%-ile) which means she's not excreting as much bili as she's producing which is common after birth, and they're just going to draw a follow up lab to see if she needs treatment (either extra hydration or photo-therapy). But we're excited at the prospect of taking her home tomorrow.

Thanks for all your love and support!

Dan and Tish.

Baby Jade is here!

Baby Jade was born last night at 10:20 after 8 hours of failed induction via C-section. Turns out mom has a really small pelvis!! She had us all worried during delivery as she had a nucal cord x2 and was really dusky and floppy. After 2 minutes her APGAR score was still a 2, and grandma even jumped in and did chest compressions!!! With grandma's loving touch, and some more vigorous stimulation, baby Jade started to cry and move around, and her color improved.

She looked like a total troll after being rammed into Mom's pelvic floor for 8 hours, and had some serious conehead going on. She's totaly cute this morning though!!! All I have for now are the delivery pictures, but I'll put up some better shots in the next days.

Thank you all for your prayers and thoughts!

Love Dan and Tish and Jade

still waiting!

unpatiently waiting!

well, our little girl should be here soon. (you hear that baby? take a hint) anyway, so life in general is great. dan and i are just enjoying being around to hang out with our friends and have midnight donut runs (i hope we're still on for tonight fromms).
so my sister threw me a rockin' baby shower, it was a blast! we have nearly everything ready for our little jade. i got a baby sling, we'll see how that works out. it seems really convenient and easy to use, i only hope i don't seem to hippieish using it. it does seem like the new thing though.
ok, well folks, i hope next time i post we'll have had our baby.
