A lot has happened in the Byrd household since I last blogged! As I type (at 4am with one hand), I am holding and rocking our sweet baby girl Tenley Joy. :) She was born at 37 weeks and 1 day, making her birthday fall in March (not April as expected). She was 6 lbs 10 oz, 19 inches long with a head full of dark brown hair, blue eyes, long fingers and toes and absolutely stunning! I really had a great labor when I think about it too. Yes, I was on bedrest for about 2 weeks prior and when I arrived at the hospital I was 6 cm dialated so thiings went pretty quickly from there. We are still in the recovery stage and I am learning lots about infant sleep cycles (she was awake in the womb from 1-6am and so she is still on that schedule right now). I am also learning that my own recovery takes more energy, time, and patience than I ever knew. (Im also learning to take my pain meds before they wear off and not try and tough it out lol!!)
We are still waiting on a few things to be for sure, but things are looking up in several areas for our future. Here is a list of current prayer needs:
1. Daddy, Mommy and Tenley to figure out her needs and better incorporate them into our lives.
2.Med school loans, paperwork, financial aid, and all it entails.
3. Finances regarding future needs and current with hospital bills coming our way.
4. My healing and recovery.
5. Wisdom in how to deal with various situations right now.
This was just a short update... hope to update more later, but no promises!
