Week 2 - 3

Turner family update!

Mikayla is doing well. She was back to her birth weight as of Friday August 1st. So the Dr are happy with her growth and we don't have to supplement with formula! She does not have to go back for two more weeks so it will be interesting to see how much she grows! Brother Dymitrik is doing much better now that the house is back to just us. Grandma Barb was here to help and Dymitrik absolutely loved spending time with her. He also adores his sister.  Jeff is finally recovering from a nasty sinus infection and I am tired....but healthy and very HAPPY!

Mikayla Kelly Turner

Born July 16, 2014

4lbs 9oz.

36 Weeks gestation

Healthy NO NICU!!!

The week before her birthday during one of my twice a week visits to the Dr she had a irregular heart deceleration that was some cause for concerns. After two nights at the hospital and hours of monitoring we (Dr and Jeff and I) decided to place it safe and plan her delivery at 36 weeks. I got to go home and decorate her room! Prepare our house for a early addition for the family and rest. Which was very hard to do knowing that something funny was going on. My parents flew in Tuesday evening and were there to take care of Dymitrik. We could not have done this week without them! Here are a few photos and many more to come!

Her temperature was a little low at first so they put her in this "nest" to keep her warm.

Big brother came to see her and was very timid at first.

Grandma could not get enough of this tiny little girl!

The hospital stay was nice at the new SMH mother baby unit! We got some flowers and balloons from friends. I chose to limit visitors this time and I really think it helped. My repeat c-section recovery seems to be going much smoother than with Dymitrik. I'm guessing it was mostly because of the infection I had with him but maybe it's because I knew what to expect???

 We had to keep big brother entertained LOL

She may not look tiny because she is so perfect but she left the hospital at 4lbs 3oz. It was very nerve wrecking to see her in the carseat. Needless to say she will not be in the car very often. She actually had to pass a carseat test....they testing her oxygen and some other things while she sat in the carseat for an hour! She passed! She seems to be an over achiever already. Pooping like crazy :)
