We are home!

After one day in the hospital Lindsey was developing a bad headache from spinal fluid that leaked from getting the epidural. Apparently her ligament in her back is very soft like "butter" said the anesthesiologist. She got a blood patch that fixed the problem for most of the afternoon on Friday, but then the headache was back on Saturday. The only thing they could do was try again, but she didn't want to do it again. So now she has been lying down to ease the pain, taking some pain meds, and drinking a lot of caffeine to help with the headache. All of which help some, but do not completely solve the problem. Over time it will go away. Meanwhile Vivian was doing great, eating, pooping, peeing, farting, sleeping, crying, and just being so sweet. She is such a beautiful little girl.   

She got discharged on Saturday and the journey home began. Little Vivian was so good riding in the car seat and it was an easy ride home. She left her sock in one of her outfits:)

Since we've been home we have been getting the hang of taking care of Vivian and she has been getting so strong and doing everything so well (eating, peeing, pooping, sleeping, not too much crying). Also we have been lucky to have some visitors. Everyone has been so helpful especially Vivian's Mimsie (BJ). She has been staying with us to help out and it has been great. Vivian's other grandma (Lisa) came to visit with her cousin Brian on Sunday. It was fun to have them here and Vivian was so happy to meet them.

Today uncle Davis and Lissa came to visit with cousin Liam. They were on their way back from Boston for the week and the timing was perfect for them to come by after flying into Raleigh. Liam is such a happy little boy and looks so big compared to Vivian. It is going to be so fun when she gets a little bigger and they can interact with each other. 

She opened her eyes so she could get a good look at her Uncle.

 This afternoon was also Vivan's first doctor visit. She is doing great and was such a good little girl. So happy that she is a healthy baby. She loves to lay with her mom after such a busy day.
