Finally posting

I have not fallen off the face of the earth although there are times that I feel like I will never see the light of day again. Katelyn is now three weeks and one day old. It has gone really fast. She will already be a month old next week. She is doing really good though. Her jaundice is completely gone and she is gaining weight really well. I am losing weight little by little and hopefully I won't have any problem getting back to normal. My tummy will never be the same because of my scar but at least I won't have a lot of baby weight. Allison loves being a big sister but she also has her jealous moments and sometimes when she tries to help out she has a hard time understanding that she is just too rough. It has been hard dividing my attention between them but I think it will just have to come with time. I still have not been feeling real great. I feel dizzy a lot and feel as if I am going to faint if I am up too long. My anemia is still pretty bad but we are hopeful that we will have it under better control soon. Right now I have to take iron pills three times a day along with my prenatal vitamin and I have to take aspirin once a day. I guess it could be worse though. I think I kinda forgot how tiring the first few weeks could be. Some of it is because of the anemia and some of it is because of the nighttime fits and feedings. We seem to be getting through it all pretty good though. I have many more pictures but I am only going to post a few for now because both girls are actually asleep and I am going to take advantage of that and sleep myself. I will post again soon.

I didn't let people take pics of me until all the cords and IV's and stuff were out so this was taken on day three of my hospital stay. It felt so good to sit with both of my girls for the first time.
I have already forgotten what she looks like when she is peaceful. This is my reminder.
