Lilly was looking in her drawers and found a swimming suit and Dora pants and wanted them both on. She added a few more accessories
Lilly sometimes likes to get in to things... this is what she likes to do with cans

Lilly loves Dora. If we are in a store she can point out Dora from ilse away, This is her on Easter happy with all the Dora things that filled her basket at Grandma's

Baby Daphanie Jean..

..was born February 7th at 2:36am. She came out crying and weighing in at 4lbs 8.9oz and 17inches long.
My water broke Friday afternoon about 3:30 so in the hospital we went to have our little girl. I was having contractions, but they weren’t doing anything. With my water being broke the doctor wants the baby out within 12 hours and at most 24, otherwise there is risk of infection. The doctor put me on potocion to speed up and make the contractions stronger. That it did. After she was born she was looked at and was doing fine all by herself, she didn’t need the NICU. We were able to go home on Monday the 9th. Daphanie developed some jaundice the last night we were there so we were sent home on some bilirubin lights. Which breaks down the bilirubin to a product that baby can dispose of in their urine and stools. We had a home healthcare nurse come look at the baby everyday she was on the lights. She would weigh her, take her temperature and also take some blood from Daphanie to see what her bilirubin levels were at.
Thursday we were sent into see the doctor. Which she thought it would be best if Daphanie was admitted back to the hospital for more intense light therapy for her jaundice and kept in a warmer to see how well she kept her body temperature. She got her bilirubin levels down and was keeping her temperature so we were able to get out at 6pm on Friday.
Her bilirubin levels kept rising after we left the hospital but not to a level to start the lights again. Her levels just started to fall on there own Tuesday the 17th.
Daphanie is still trying to stay awake to eat. She has been losing and gaining and losing again. This is our only struggle right now. We will see on Friday when she visits the pediatrician for her 2-week check-up!

A little of this and that!

Lilly has been having a lot of fun in the snow. It is really hard to get her inside after playing outside! Her daddy has been taking her for sledding rides behind the tracker. While she is getting pulled on the sled she says "WoooWhoo" and "Go, go, go!" Above are pictures of her all bundled up waiting for her turn to ride in the sled (Taylor in the background)! The next one is of her and Corey getting ready to go for a ride! Last is a picture of Corey and Lilly after going to a ride! Look at her little red nose!This is a picture of Lilly in her favorite Dora Pajamas! What a cute smile I got out of her that morning! This picture I just had to share. I know I cut off some of her head, but look at those curls! I think that is the only feature of me she actually has! She is also wearing a new spring dress that her baby sister has the exact same one! I can't wait to dress them a like!!

About Lilly's baby sister. She is still in there cooking, like a good little girl. I am still having contractions and a bit more dilated! I also have some really low back pain which I think is from the contractions. She is kicking more than ever with her space getting smaller and smaller! She is head down and ready to come! She gets the hiccups at least once a day, which they are fun to feel! Doctor says she can come anytime!
