Tillys First Week

By the looks of these pictures, everyone in the house was happy Tilly was here, but Warner wasn't so sure!  He definitely loved Tilly, but wasn't so sure about sharing the spotlight!  Nash is the real surprise....he wants to hold her more than all the other kids.  My recovery was very slow.  Having the c/section again was a big surprise, but also a big blessing.  Tilly turned breach at almost 38 1/2 weeks!  the Dr's all said baby's usually can't turn around when they are so big....but we definitely feel the love and watchful eye of Heavenly Father.  I did end up getting engorgement a few times which sent me to the Dr office more than usual.  I remember feeling sick, and Janis suggested that I take my temp...I had a fever and didn't know it.  Thank goodness for the antibiotics!  As far as Tilly goes, she was the easiest baby we have ever had!  Her and Anni were in  a tie for the most mellow, easy going girls!  Yeah!  She slept well too, 3-4 hour stretches, and by about 12 weeks she was sleeping through the night!

Tillys Here! April 2013

So I have not blogged in almost 2 years! But I thought I would give it a go again.  So starting with Tilly seemed like a reasonable spot.  ON April 24th 2013, Tilly Margaret was born.  It was a surprise, as the rest of them were.  Family and ward members told us wanted to know what it was, so Adam texted everyone in 4 different texts.  P...I..N...K!  It was so exciting and we couldn't believe we got a girl.  Bookends.  She came C section (which was unexpected) she turned breech at 39 weeks.  The Doctors said that baby's don't usually turn that late because there is no room for them to turn.  We definitely felt the Lords hand in that, and feel so blessed!    I wanted to name Tilly, Archie. But Adam didn't want to name her Archie.  We didnt' have a name other than Archie picked out.  Uncle Dennis called us and said what about naming her after, Pat Tillman and call her Tilly.  We liked it...so that's what we did! Thanks Uncles Dennis!
