Jovi Sage Whipperman

Jovi is almost 4 weeks now so I figured I should post some pics of her since I have been slackin big time. She was born March 21st at 6:57 pm. The whole labor and delivery was almost identical to Ezra's, even the time. She weighed in at 6lbs 2 oz and they measured her at 19 1/2 inches(which was wrong because they measured her at the Doctors office at 18 1/2 inches) She went down to 5 lbs in the hospital but I think she is somewhere back in the 6 lb range now. All these pics got messed up out of order so they are random. This is the day we brought her home from the NICU when she was 6 days old.


In the hospital.
She went to the NICU after 3 days in the maternity nursery, but turns out she never needed to go in the first place. Since I was on so many narcotics and pain meds they were monitoring her for withdrawal symptoms and thought they were worse than they were, but she ended up being okay. We were upset because they put her on morphine right away which sedated her too much to eat so they had to put a feeding tube in. They ended up stopping the morphine right away and she was able to eat just fine. They finally admitted that they never should have done either. Kyle holding her in the NICU with her little feeding tube. So sad!
Holding my sweet baby in the NICU.
Just thought I would throw this pic of me at 8 months just a few days before I delivered.
Jovi's first bath at home in the kitchen sink.
Ezra loves his baby sister, he gives her lots of kisses and loves to hold her hand.
This is a picture the NICU took of her and gave us a CD of.
Also a pic the NICU took while they were doing the carseat test.
I just love this of Kyle and her, this was in the hospital the day she was born when we were going to bed. Kyle loves to lay her on his chest to nap. (He is actually in the other room as I do this post with her on his chest napping right now.)
