Hospital fun & a Happy New Year

December 27- Jan 5, 2014

 Chloe has been having a hard time putting on the pounds and keeping them on.  She's having periodic weight checks that have not been going so well.  She kept spitting up all the milk I was giving her so on Friday the 27th I called the doctor and she said to take her up to Primary Children's hospital and have her checked out.  So Scott & I headed up to the ER and the doctor admitted her into the hospital because she was only 6 lbs 6oz.  They had to do an Ultra Sound, X-Rays, and put an IV in her arm.  It was so sad to sit there and watch her get poked and prodded.

Once we were admitted into our room Scott ran home and got a bag packed for us since we were going to be staying overnight.  The doctors had me pumping every 3 hrs and then feeding it to Chloe in a bottle to make sure she was eating the full amount needed.  It was so exhausting to pump that often and then to feed her right after but it was nice to see that she was getting all the milk she needed.

Poor Chloe had to get a lot of blood taken and tested and thankfully everything came back normal.  She didn't seem to care she was in the hospital at all. She was just as adorable.
So after 2 days of pumping and feeding her she started to gain weight again so they discharged us from the hospital.  I had never been so excited to get out of that place.

I was so happy to finally be home! The next day Scott's mom flew in for the week.  YAY Gaga is here! I was so excited to once again have some help and have some really delicious home cooked meals! She was so excited to be here and hold Chloe and Chloe loved being held all the time.

It was so fun having her here for New Years too.  We stayed up and watched the ball drop and ate Shrimp and had sparkling cider.  I cannot believe it is already 2015! 2014 flew by! I was pretty much pregnant for the whole year.  I am so excited to see what this new year will bring our little family!

Scott's parents were nice enough to watch Chloe while we went out on date.  We went out to dinner at Ichiban! Oh my gosh I was craving Sushi so much and I could finally have as much of it as I wanted.  YUMM.  After dinner we drove downtown to look at the lights on Templesquare but it was so cold out that we just looked that them through the car window.  They were so pretty!

Grandude was able to fly in for a little bit and it was so fun to have him here! Wish he could have been here longer!

Chloe's already 1 month old! I cannot believe how fast time has gone.  I feel like we just brought her home yesterday.  She is the cutest little bundle.  She still loves to 'Coo' all night, gets the hiccups about 5 times a day, sneezes lots, and has started to smile a little.  She loves to be swaddled and Scott likes to call her his little "Sweet Pork Burrito".  She has already been such a sweet blessing in our lives, she is a little slice of heaven and we love her so much!
