Update from Presby

Abby and Sydney are both resting and doing very well. They removed Abby's epidural yesterday. She's had very minimal pain since then but the nurses are doing a great job of managing the aches she gets every now and then. After being totally numb the first day, she's been up and moving around on her own the past two days. We take a couple of laps around the 5th floor during the day, visit the other babies in the nursery and show off Sydney to everyone!

I love seeing Abby in her mommy role. It seems to come so naturally. Like this is what she was meant to do her entire life. It's so fun to watch them interact. You can see how much Abby loves her little girl. It's amazing and makes me feel so proud to be Abby's husband and Sydney's daddy.

Sydney is still chugging along healthy and strong. Her pediatrician visits us in the morning after checking out Sydney and gives us an update. He says that Sydney is doing wonderful and would discharge her today if we were ready. Abby and I have decided to stay one more night and go Italichome on Friday.

Once we get home Friday, Grandma (Abby's mom) will be coming to stay with us! We are very excited to have Grandma come and help take care of Sydney (and us!). We can't wait to take our baby girl home and unvail her beautiful nursery to her. We know she'll love it and we hope she loves sleeping there!

Having some issues with posting pictures at the hospital. As soon as we get them all loaded on to the computer at home we will get them up. We love you all! We appreciate all your thoughts and prayers!

  1. I am so happy and proud to have been able to share it all with you. Staying with you and loving on that beautiful baby was wonderful. She is a lucky little girl to have such a wonderful Dad and Mom. I love you all and will see you soon, but no matter how soon, it just won't be soon enough!!!
