I'm so glad you guys remember me....It's been nearly a year!
Here are a few pics of my little one Eliana Jean...born March 18 at 10:26am, 9lbs 5oz, 21 1/2 inches.
She was unable to clear her lungs out effectively after birth and was in the NICU for 2 days and then was monitored every few hours (but stayed in my room most the time) for another 3 days. She had an infection due to it and would not breastfeed for the first 2 days as she was more interested in breathing instead of eating. They kept her hydrated through an IV and had a tube down her stomach to relieve pressure if she swallowed air. She was given antibiotics through the IV and had to have xrays of her chest several times. Although the nurses told us she was not jaundiced (her #s were good) she looked very jaundiced for the first few weeks of life. She was super dark (yellowish) compared to everyone and over time her skin lightened. I also had some difficulty after my csection. I was extremely nauseous and was vomiting for almost the entire first 2 days. I was told it was due to the anesthesia. Needless to say we were in the hospital from early Friday morning til late afternoon the following Wednesday. Thankfully though she is a super sweet "easy" baby and has had no problems since leaving the hospital.

You can tell you aren't feeling well in the NICU picture, but you're such a good mommy being right there. Very sweet. I can't wait to see more pics of her growing up. 
Harper had her little legs crossed and the tech kept accusing me of not drinking enough water...I did drink it! Maybe just not soon enough. I cried in the dr.'s office bathroom. I felt like I ruined DH's last appointment we knew he could go to. The tech wasn't nice either. She made 2-3 comments about my bladder being empty and not drinking water. I don't like her!!!!!
