We got home from the hospital Wednesday night and Thursday had some friends come visit. Hardly anyone got to hold Blakely because she was either sleeping or eating when they came to the hospital. My best friend brought her little boy over on Friday night to meet Blakely, who he calls Fox. He loves her so much and can't wait for her to get bigger to play with him. Blakely lost her 10% of weight that newborns normally lose, so the doctor wanted us to supplement until my milk came in. Ben took her back to the doctor Monday afternoon and she had gained almost a full pound so we didn't have to supplement anymore. That Monday morning we had a wonderful photographer come to our house to capture Blakely's cuteness. :) She got some great shots of her and our first professional family photo. That afternoon I started feeling bad, I was getting the shakes again and started running fever. I took it very easy the rest of the day, Ben would let me sleep and bring Blakely to me when she would need to eat. Then I felt better the next day, but on Wednesday afternoon it got really bad again. My fever spiked to 104 and I couldn't stop shaking long enough to call the doctor so Ben called for me and they treated me for a uterine infection. I was taking 2 antibiotics, Ibuprofen and tylenol constantly. I am so thankful to have the most wonderful, caring husband in the world. He took such great care of me. On Friday the 27th we headed to the Petroleum Club in Fort Worth to celebrate my grandfather's 90th birthday. Blakely was an aboslute angel there. Ben went to work that next week so my mom would come over to stay with me and help me out until I was better.
I am so thankful for such wonderful family and friends to help take care of me and Blakely when I was so sick.
Blakely had a busy first couple of weeks meeting her aunts, uncles and cousins. They all fell in love with her of course.
She also got to attend her first Rangers game, suite style. :) They played the LA Angels and won.
