5 weeks early, Ruby is here :)

On Tuesday Sept. 25th 2012 I went to my doctors appt. and never came home.  Basically I was admitted to the hospital for my high blood pressure.  My doctor tried to prolong my pregnancy the best she could, but my blood pressure wasn't getting any better, amongst other things, so a couple of days later, we decided it was time for Ruby to come.  Ruby was delivered 5 weeks early.  Chris said, that a couple of days after I was admitted, Elle went out in the garage, and saw that the truck was still gone, and said, "Man, what is taking so long"?  ha..ha..  I had to laugh!  Here I had gone to a doctors appt. and hadn't come back, and Elle was wondering why it was taking so long.  Our girls have been shuffled from person to person, but all family, and everyone has done such an amazing job helping us with the girls.  And the girls were so good for everyone too.  I just love our families!      

Ruby is amazing!!  She is seriously the cutest baby I have ever seen :)  She never needed any oxygen.  And has been quite healthy.  She is just very early.  And we've had a ton of amazing visitors, (my siblings), who brought the most amazing gifts and their love.  And to all of you, I say a huge THANK YOU!!!!  

This is our favorite nurse, Susan!  We love her!!  And all of the other wonderful nurses that are, and have taken care of Ruby!!  They are all amazing people.  

Ruby's two big sisters, Bree and Elle, getting to see her for the first time.  

Daddy LOVES to feed Ruby.  He just plain loves her so much.  I am so glad, that when I am not able to get there, Daddy can go and be with Ruby for the both of us.  I am not aloud to drive for at least  2 weeks.  We just want her to know that we haven't abandoned her.  It is so hard to leave the hospital without your baby.  But we visit her everyday!  And she should be able to come home very soon.

There were some days in the hospital, when I thought I might loose it.  7 days is way too long to be stuck in a hospital bed.  It was hard to be alone all night long after Chris would leave at the end of each day.  But I am so grateful for my doctor, and everyone else who took such good care of me.  Even the nurses that constantly bugged me for my own good.   

This girl is amazing!!  We are so blessed to have her in our family.  I can't wait to bring her home!!  Now we are complete.
