Catholic Mama is back in the house! ;)
We are home now, praise God!
Last night was a nightmare of warding off evil nurses with formula and sugar water...and a baby that screamed all night long because she feels strongly that billi-beds are torture devices and that she should be held all the time and nursed non-stop [a point I agree with her on LOL!].
Anyway, we had a different "on call" Pediatrician this morning who agreed with DH and I that the billi bed was totally unnecessary [at her relatively low billi levels] and that the best thing she could be doing is nursing non-stop [which is what she WAS doing before they restrained her on the stupid billi bed] and he sent us home with a "good job" pat on the back.
I'm so glad to be home!
Gemma is doing so well - it is really amazing. It is TOTALLY to God's Glory and thanks to your wonderful, kind prayers that she is alive and doing SO well - it really is a miracle.
I thank you all from the bottom of my heart for all your prayers, sacrifices, and offerings - you are all so wonderful.
I will try to write up a bit of a birth story this week to share, but tonight...I'm going to bed. :)
THANK YOU!!!!!

Oh, she's such a precious, tiny angel. Ok, she's a smidge yella. hehe....but she's a pretty yellow angel!

Now let's pray that Gemma is a good sleeper!
Kelly, PRAISE GOD that you and Gemma are home!! Congrats on another beautiful little girl!
WOO HOO!!! Your **34** weeker home already??!! And what a *beautiful* picture with Daddy :->. She's exactly the same size as my firstborn was (at 37 weeks), and while she's huge for a 34 weeker, wow is 5lbs 8oz teeny tiny in Daddy's hands. I'm just beaming for you, I'm so glad you're home!!!
Yay! Kelly! I'm so happy for you; you knew to move doctors and you did so just in the nick of time -- what a blessing to get in with her. And Miss Gemma? An absolutely gorgeous spitting image of her absolutely gorgeous siblings! Well done, Mama.
Praise God!! I am so happy for you all!!
Oh, she really is a GEM! What a beautiful little baby--so delicate and just lovely.

I'm so happy for you! I missed the whole thing until today since we had to evacuate last Friday b/c of the hurricane. After watching a movie in which one of the characters was named Gemma last night, I checked in today and told my husband excitedly that little Gemma had been born!
Hope you guys continue to do well!
