So... I have wanted to post a ton of pictures about Taelin's life! I thought that I could make a slide show of me pregnant... the hospital experience and then to the present time! It has taken us forever to figure the best way to download pictures to our computer. We are so excited to have finally accomplished it. We put these pictures on a slide show and Danny picked the music. It has been a family activity.
So... The pictures of friends/ relatives holding Taelin are her firsts. I know that some of you are going to look at them and say... that is not my best picture... we decided that it is the moment that counts. It was your first time holding little baby Taelin that we were trying to capture. I hope that all of you enjoy seeing what makes Taelin our family treasure.
Taelin was born on June 10th 2007 at 2:17 a.m. Dr. Lamereaux was sure that she was going to be a c-section at 2:00 a.m. But I proved him wrong! hehehe It sure was a party in the room when Taelin entered our world. Literally!! At the last minute, I decided to invite the girls that were waiting in the waiting rooms to come in. They were all my good friends and sister-in-laws. It was a party! Taelin had a rough start in life. She had a respiratory team there to help her breath. Taelin was 9 days early. She had a lack of surfactant in her lungs making it hard for her to breath. They put her on a CPAP! ? It is a machine that creates constant positive air flow into the lungs. Taelin was in the level two nursery (NICU) for the first 6 days of her life! She was extremely jaundice so she lived in a constant tanning bed! :) The nurses in the nursery were so kind and took great care of her for us... they put bows in her hair and styled it cute... Taelin was born with dark curly hair! It was a blast! She weighted 8 lbs 8 oz and was 21 inches long! We were so excited when Dr. Johnson told us that she was going to be able to come home. Between coming and going from the hospital for feedings and work. Danny and I were exhausted. The fifteen minute drive to the hospital was not only a dangerous hazard for us but also for others on the road. :)
Taelin has been a good baby from the start. She lets us know when she is tired, needs a change etc.. She is happy and laid back just like her father! hehehe Most people including myself think that Taelin looks like her father. She did have my dark hair, but it has slowly gotten lighter. She is adorable and we love her very much.
Thanks for reading and we hope that you enjoy the show!
