Well today is Caylee-Graces 1 week b'day. We went to the pediatrician this morning and he said she was doing great. She has gained 4 ounces since Sunday (I guess that breast milk is coming out good now thank the Lord). She now weighs in at 4 lb 10 ounces. My doctors visit didn't go as good as hers. I got my staples out and I just have one thing to say about that "Ouch". I also got that catheter out which is good. I was getting tired of that thing. Bad thing though I didn't feel the best last night so I took my blood pressure and it was 150/89. This morning it was 148/97 and when I got to the doctor this morning for my appointment it was 150/102. He has put me on some blood pressure medicine for about 6 weeks. He said that was normal for your blood pressure to continue to be high after pregnancy if you got it during pregnancy. I don't feel really good I have a headache and I'm going to lay down and take a nap.
We didn't have a good night again last night. Caylee-Grace didn't want to sleep. Randal ended up sleeping with her in the recliner again after I had been up with her all night. We had to be at the pediatrician at 8 this morning so after a long night with no sleep, we are worn out and after going to her doctor, my doctor and get prescriptions and to my work to drop off some paper work, we are both off to take a nap while she is taking one.
We both have to go back to the doctor next Wednesday. Hope everyone is having a good week.

I'm sorry yall are so sleep deprived. Need a babysitter?!?!?!
I'm tired just reading that! Poor things...Hopefully you can get some rest soon.
Bless your heart! I'm itching to see her again. As soon as this cold is gone I'm fighting, I'm coming over. :)
Bless your heart. I'm sorry you guys are so tired. Hopefully soon, schedules will get better. :)
Hopefully, I can see you guys soon. I miss you!
Please let me know if you need anything.
Hang in there... it gets better. Do you have one of those velcro swaddling blankets? That is finally what worked with Harper at night. Try white noise too- turn on a radio inbetween stations to hear static. The first few weeks are the roughest, you are doing great!
I have two swaddlers that Andrew has outgrown if you want to try before you buy. Just let me know and I'll get them to you. That's the only way either of mine slept while they were tiny babies!
I'm so sorry to hear that you guys are so tired...but I promise sleep WILL come...and by the way she is absolutly beautiful!!!
You just wore me out! I am glad she is gaining weight and doing well.
