She Came Home On A Thursday

27 September 2012 (Thursday)
Valine moved back home, her relationship with Nick is not working out. I feel sorry for her because all she wants is her “family”. She has been so sad looking, but as each day that goes by she is getting better. Mylinah keeps her busy. I understand how she feels but she also does not have to live in a relationship when it is not healthy for her and Mylinah.
Valine will be starting cosmetology school soon and I think that will be good for her. Plus she can do my hair and I will save money!

Updates

So much has been going on since my last post. Alayna and Selina are growing so fast. They went to the Dr's today they are both a little over 11 Lbs! Mylinah's two bottom teeth came in and now she is working on the top two.
Dan and I went on vacation last month, we went to Tampa for the weekend, and we celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary. We had a blast; we went to the aquarium and the science museum. I want to go back when the girls are bigger so we can go to the Tampa zoo.

Halloween will be here soon and I can't wait to see the granddaughters in their costumes!

Alayna & Selena

Alayna & Selena

12 August 2012 at 2:37 the girls arrived! Alayna was 6 pounds 11 oz and Selena was 6 pounds 5 oz.

We were in our way back from the airport picking up my mom when Matt called saying he took Courtney to the hospital because she was having blurry vision. Her blood pressure was really high so they decided to do an emergency c-section.

We got there just when they the girls got to the nursery. Alayna had fluid around her lungs and in her stomach so so they put a tube down into her stomach and she was on oxygen. We did not get to hold her, just sooth her.  We did get to hold Selena. Missie arrived at the hospital before we did and she put herself to work! She also got to give Selena her first bath.

Yesterday they removed the tubes from Alayna and she is off of the oxygen.

Courtney lost some blood and had preeclampsia and was in ICU for a few days.
She is doing much better. I felt bad because she only got to see her babies for a few minutes before they took them away.

Last night Courtney was feeling much better and they brought both the girls to see her.

Today they finally moved her to a maternity room and she will be able to have visitors‘. If she is up to it I might go see her.

Mylinah's First Doctors Visit

From Valine:
Mylinah is so brave! We went for her shots today. She cried but stopped when I picked her up. She weighs 12 lbs, measures 22 inches; her head circumference in 16 inches. She's growing!! =(
