What one week will do
One week ago when I looked like this

I was out to dinner with my girlfriends when I started having contractions. I didn't think anything of it until 2 hours later and they were still coming. I decided I better skip the movie and go home to pack my bags. 1 hour later when we got the hospital I was dilated to a 6 and ready for the epidural. 3 hours after that I had a sweet new baby girl.
Jillian Eliza
She has been the best baby!
We've had a pretty good week, considering I have been back to the hospital 5 times to get her bilirubin checked, and she has been under the Bili lights for 3 days now. I just want to hold her all day and it kills me to put her under those lights all by herself.
The girls think she is the best thing. They both ask where she is the second they wake up. It's been really fun seeing how they are with her. Mari is like her second mommy and Lucy just wants to kiss her constantly.
So, for my first week with 3 I have to say it's been pretty good. Wish me luck though there is bound to be some drama with all these girls.

So sweet!! How fun to have a new baby again!
Oh, bili lights. It breaks my heart to see that! How are you doing? I heard her levels went down ... I hope you get to have her back soon! I'll have to give you a call tomorrow to see how everything is.
I love Eliza! Good pick.
Nicely done, how do you make that look so easy? Were you touching up your make up while pushing? Congratulations! Clearly, Mari is Matt's twin, and Lucy is yours... so Jillian is going to have to break the tie.
That is SO awesome that you were "REALLY" in labor at dinner. I love it! She is so cute snuggled up with her daddy. That almost makes me excited to have another one...almost. ;)
That picture of Matt and Jill is so sweet. I love that very small stage of life when they are so new and tiny and they snuggle up on your chest like a little bug. I wish they could stay that tiny for just a few months longer. It is crazy what a week will do in the life a newborn.
p.s.
I am a crappy friend, sorry I haven't been down to see you. I am coming this week for sure. I will call you.
