Here I am in my lovely hospital attire...again. Dr. Twelves *FINALLY* diagnosed me this morning (around 10:30) with an "angry gallbladder". The problem is, she told me not to eat or drink anything today in case they are able to do surgery later tonight. I met with my surgeon, Dr. Hansen, who wanted to get me on the OR schedule this evening but so far, I have not had the surgery and I still can't eat or drink. This is a little miserable. But worth remembering I suppose.

Well, I'm back at the hospital again! :( I have had fevers since I got home from having Ricki but this morning I woke up with a sore back, very sore neck, and my temp was over 101. Mom came and got me and took me to the ER and they admitted me. They were trying to rule out a uterine infection, kidney infection, and/or meningitis. I have had an ultrasound, several blood draws (and now have IV's in both arms), chest x-rays (to rule out pneumonia), and they've started me on 2 different antibiotics. I guess when I came in in labor, my white blood count was 22. Today, it was 17.8 which is still pretty high and means there is an infection somewhere. Luckily, Simon is able to come stay with me and bring Ricki too so at least I can see them while I'm going through this!

Grandma, Kristy, and Bentley stopped by today for a visit. I didn't know this at the time but Kristy is 5 months pregnant! It was fun to see them and chat. While they were here, my mom and dad also stopped by so we had a big 'ole Howard Family party! I just wished I was feeling better for it.

We're going home! We're taking our bundle of joy home!! I love my hospital stay but I also love taking my babies home and resuming normal life with them. She is the sweetest little thing. I look at her beautiful little face and can't help but feel extremely blessed!

The top picture was take around 3:00am then texted to Ricki's daddy so he could see what he was missing out on in the middle of the night. :) Ricki's birth marks another special day in our family. Kenny got out of rehab and this hospital visit is his first outing as a "free man". We are happy that Kenners is doing so great and just keep praying that he can find his way on the new paths he's paving.
Little Ricki is so precious! She is such a beautiful baby and I can't get enough of her. I too am so glad that this was Kenny's first place to go after months of rehab. I picked him up tonight and we came straight to the hospital.
