We were very excited to be able to take Hannah home with us after only 2 1/2 days in the hospital. The only major concern with Hannah was that she went home a little jaundice and we had to keep an eye on her billy reuben. Her count was around 8 when we left the hospital and it got up to 12 on the 26th, but by the 28th was already starting to go back down-10.4. On March 9th it was 9.3 and on the 16th was down to a 4.9, which was a real relief.

All Alyssa wanted to do when she saw Hannah for the first time was give her all kinds of hugs and kisses. Alyssa was up to visit Hannah and I every day that we were in the hospital. She only stayed for an hour or two each day, but Bill made sure that she came to visit us every day. She is going to be a great big sister.

Bill is very proud of his new daughter, Hannah.

Here are some snapshots of Hannah and I in the hospital.
She is a very beautiful baby girl.

Well, we ended up going into the hospital a couple of days early due to me having contractions for two days. The doctor's didn't want me contracting because of my cerclage and my prior c-section, so they decided to deliver on Wednesday night instead of Friday morning. We were very thankful that her lungs developed so quickly from the 9th of February to the 21st. Hannah was one of eleven babies born on the 21st of February. We actually waited in line for our c-section, which was just crazy to me. We are just thankful that we have a another healthy, beautiful baby girl.
