Surgery

The last 48 have been... hard. Hard on daddy, hard on Julia and hard on mommy too. Tuesday we found out that mommy retained a placenta fragment in the uterus. It was a serious condition and can be very dangerous, with a high chance of postpartum hemorrhage. So urgent surgery was scheduled for first thing the next morning. Wednesday, 6:45 a.m.

While mommy was under anesthesia, Jules would have to drink formula. However, she refused it. Poor baby girl. That was traumatic.

It has been 24 hours since surgery. Daddy is doing better, Julia is doing better and mommy is too.

Mommy and Me Yoga

Jules and I went to yoga for the first time today since pregnancy. We practiced deep, slow breathing and good stretching. During the yoga poses, Julia was 'people watching.' She loved starring at the other babies in the class. She especially enjoyed watching baby Matthew, who was about 5 feet away. He was crying and fussy the whole time and she wasn't sure what to make of it.

A Stand-up Girl

Julia loves to stand (with assistance). It is one of her favorite things to do. If she gets fussy, you can hold her up to stand and she is suddenly happy!

She stretches her arms straight out to her sides. Holds her hands wide open. Her head is a little wobbly, but her legs are as sturdy as a tree!
