Hey everyone, I hope you are all doing well and are ready for Christmas. I know we are. Clay, Taylor and I are so excited about spending time with family these next couple of weeks. Christmas is a little scattered this year, we are having Christmas with the Enfingers this weekend, with Lee Lee and Aunt Catie on Tuesday, not sure about Big Pop and Honey yet, and Taylor and I are leaving for Columbus Tuesday afternoon sometime and Clay will join us Thursday night. Although it may seem crazy we are all just thankful that Clay is here and not at the academy and that we get to spend time with family. We have been so blessed this year and to end the year with a daughter is going to be so wonderful.
I have to catch you up on the past couple of weeks. Friday morning I woke up at 3am with a fever and chills. I took some medicine to see if it would help but by 7am the fever had gotten just a little worse. I called the doctor and they fit me in to come see her that morning. Clay and I both thought it was the flu but the doctor was not exactly sure because I had my flu shot. She had blood test done on me and called me around 4pm to let me know my white blood count was twice as high as what it should be and that I need to go to the hospital. Not the way I wanted to start the weekend. At first they thought I my uterus was infected. I had 2 CT scans and a chest x-ray. They all came back fine. So when the doctor comes to my room the next day and says "so your the mystery women" I kinda freak out. They started me on antibiotics which reduced my fever and I finally got to go home on Monday. I would have gotten to leave Sunday afternoon but my IV went bad and made my arm swell up and caused my skin to have redness everywhere, so they wanted to watch me over night. I was so ready to go home because I had not seen Taylor since Friday. Clay stayed with me and Lee Lee and Aunt Catie watched Taylor and they did a wonderful job. Thankfully I am all better although they still are not sure what was wrong. The doctor did say it could have been a taste of the flu and that the flu test could have been wrong (it was negative when they checked for it).
As for Taylor's 2 week weight visit, it went well. She weighs 7lbs. 12oz. So since we left the hospital she has gained 1lb 3oz. The nurse said she looks great. She has a lot of eye boogies which could be caused from a clogged tear duct but that is normal in babies and we are doing what the doctor said to do and hopefully we will get rid of some of those eye boogies. Also, she may have a little hernia but nothing to worry about right now. I had one as well and look at me I good. So we are not going to stress about that. Overall Taylor looks great and she is gaining weight just as she should be. We could not be happier.
Like I said before we can not wait to be with everyone for Christmas and we are so excited for those of you that have not met Taylor to meet her. She is just precious and will have you wrapped in no time.
