All cuddled up at home


Thank you so much for those of you who have been kind enough to keep Brynn in your thoughts recently. Thank you for allowing me my complaining and "woe is me" post the other day. Sorry for being a downer for a few days. I just needed to feel that way and now I'm ready to move forward. On a much happier note, tonight was one of the best we've had! Brynn gained a few more ounces and is able to spend the evening at home curled up next to her furry sister Neela. I honestly think Neela was happy to spend the evening curled up with her new sister as well. (Don't worry - I don't leave the two of them like that unless I'm sitting right next to the on the couch, LOL). Things are holding stable with me as well, and I'm just continuing the Methergine for a couple more days. As long as my Hbg stays at an acceptable level, I'll just continue to hold out for the moment and have another transvaginal ultrasound in a couple of days. If I continue to have some bleeding and the ultrasound again shows retained lining then I'll have a D & C. Hopefully on the repeat ultrasound the retained lining I had show up on the ultrasound Monday will be gone. So for now we just hang out for a few days which I'm delighted to do. I still kind of feel like I've been hit by a truck, but my Hbg is holding at 9 and not dropping any further. I'm just keeping my fingers crossed for a good scan in a couple of days. It's a small surgery - but it would be nice if I didn't need it.

If you get a chance go give Meredith a big congrats - her son was born the other day and is a absolute cutie! She's been my bedrest buddy for months and I truly couldn't have kept my sanity without her.

I hope everything settles down for you physically, Sara. It is hard enough to have a newborn without being unwell yourself.

So glad you're little fighter is home with you both again. Hoping hard that the need for the D&C vanishes into the mist. And your daughter and dog are cuteness personified. And dogified.

That's a cute pic of Brynn with Neela. Love that they make such adorable pillow buddies.

Luv and hugs,

God is Good. I am so happy that Brynn is gaining weight and was able to come home. Indeed it looks like Neela was quite happy too : )

Hope you get to feeling better as well. Hopefully with you having your sweet girl at home and resting in the comfort of your own home...that will help.

Awwwww...what a great big sister! :) I love how it looks like Neela is smiling.

Happy to hear that you're home and that things are moving in the right direction. Can't wait for more pictures! *hugs*

Kim said...

I had retained placenta with both babies. Both D&C's at 8 weeks. I took the same med the first time and it didn't work fully.
It's a drag. I hope it works and you get to avoid the D&C.

Jesus, My Best Friend said...

Brynn is a fighter. I'm glad she's been gaining weight. I like her picture with her furry sister.

Hey, my Elizabeth is wearing a matching blanket right now! I am so glad that you are home. That picture of Neela and Brynn is wonderful. I described it to Matt and he got up and came across the room to see it. (He hasn't slept a whole night since Sunday, getting up is quite an accomplishment.) He thinks it is adorable!

So glad you are all home together!

And as for complaining: #1. You're not. You're just talking about the realities of Life, which aren't always puppies and sunshine. #2. If you can't talk about it here, where can you?

Those two look so cozy on the pillow together!

Meghan said...

Love that picture!

And first off, you were not complaining. And second, if anyone has a right to whine a little, I think it's you. I'm hoping you're feeling better and are able to avoid the D&C

KLTTX said...

I am new to your blog but wanted to say congratulations on your beautiful little girl. I hope she continues to grow well. I am a UUer too so I thought I'd introduce myself.

admin said...

Cut yourself some slack, girl. Having a newborn is hard enough.. ad to it Brynn's trip to the hospital and your wellness... Anyone would struggle.

Keep me posted. How is life otherwise? Are you and J. getting sleep? I was so jealous of that pic. D. hate to lay by himself. I feel like I can't put him down!!!

Amanda said...

I'm so glad that you're all home safe, now!

I hope that the scan shows all is clear and that you start recovering quickly.

I love that Neela loves her so much!

TTG thinks our dogs are pretty funny and we only just figured out why - he likes to watch their tails wag, absolutely cracks up.
