Back to business as usual...

Well, it's back  to business as usual... chasing a 2-year old and learning how to do everything one handed again. My husband and I had forgotten all about our newborn days with Roo but we're getting with it!!
Thank you to everyone who brought us dinners- it was very much appreciated!!

RooBear's baby sister, JuicyJuice

Here are a few pictures of our new addition. We had a check-up with Dr. Dan yesterday and he said she was perfect!! Thank you all for you thoughts and prayers... Y'all will never know how much they meant to me. We're so happy to have our new baby home.

A hard hard week for the Dixons


Our JuicyJuice was born  Monday, May 3 at 7:25 am.  She weighed in at a whopping 7lbs and 4.4oz with a head full of dark hair and the chunkiest cheeks you've ever seen.  Shortly after she was born she was taken to the NICU at HMC because she was having difficulty breathing. She developed a pneumothorax (a small hole in her lung that lets air leak into her chest and causes pressure) on the right side and we had to stay at the hospital for a week while her doctor tried to wash it out with oxygen.  I don't think your ever ready to see your little one hooked up to all the IVs and monitor leads and a tube down her throat.  It was a hard week but our youngest daughter came home Monday morning.  She's just as perfect and beautiful as her older sister and she truly completes this family.  We love you, JuicyJuice!!
