my first blog

So I just set up this blog and it's a lot easier than I thought it would be. I figured with so many friends and family scattered around the world, this would be a great way to keep everyone updated. I have a few friends and family that are already doing this, so I guess I'm behind the times.

Well I'm sure you all know that we just recently welcomed our daughter Mya Leilani Crosby into the world. Sept 17, 2008 at 12:55 am to be exact. She was 5 lbs 9.8 oz and 19in long. I went into the hospital Sat night because of high blood pressure readings. They induced me very early Sun morning. I was contracting but not dilating. On Mon my water broke but my labor was still not progressing. Because of risk of infection, on Tue they decided to go with a c-section. Early Wed morning our daughter was born.

She stayed in the NICU for monitoring. At first it was to monitor her heart (she has tetralogy of fallot). The ped. cardiologist said that things were great and if all goes well, they should be able to put the surgery off until she's around 4-6mo old! WOOHOO! We were so thankful for the good news. They did keep her in the NICU for 6 days though because she wasn't eating well, couldn't keep things down.

She's home with us now and we couldn't be happier! Frank and I are so thankful to have her in our lives. We can't stop looking at her. I swear her first word is going to be beautiful or cute because that's all we keep saying over and over. "Oh my gosh you are so beautiful!" "I can't believe how cute you are!" Thank you all for you support and prayers. I know my first blog was a long one but I tried to condense everything from the past month into a few short paragraphs. I promise the following posts won't be nearly as long.
