OpieTaylor July 13, 2017 Share July 13, 2017 TLC.com has posted new photos of Sam, including at least one with Jill: http://www.tlc.com/tv-shows/counting-on/photos/introducing-samuel-scott-dillard/ But I can't get the photos to advance. This has happened before with TLC photo galleries. Can anyone else advance through them?

AUgirl July 13, 2017 Share July 13, 2017 My daughter wasn't allowed in the NICU because of a quarantine. He was born in flu season and only parents were allowed. My mom was with me because my husband had to work and they would not even let her in. There also may be an age restriction on visitors and Izzy may be too young.

Maybe instead of having been driven to the brink by news of no more children, they had a change of heart and decided to enjoy their children (OK, just the new one) for a few days before doing publicity stunts (OK, this is the Dillards.

They do not keep the mother in the hospital unless it is medically necessary. She looks better without makeup. Sam's cute. It looks like a night gown. Of course, just because the photo was posted today, it doesn't mean that it wasn't taken a day or two ago. They both look to be recovering and I hope both continue to improve. Someone asked about postpartum depression. By definition, it cannot be diagnosed until two weeks postpartum. Most women go through a phase often referred to as the 'baby blues' which usually starts a few days post birth and can last a couple weeks. It's brought on by the tremendous hormonal, emotional and physical changes that having a baby causes. Most women find themselves feeling sad even though they objectively know that there is nothing terribly sad happening. Typically, they find themselves crying at TV commercials and worrying that they aren't doing a good enough job with the baby, but it passes with time. It is only if the symptoms worsen and continue for more than 2 weeks that it comes into the realm of PPD. Even if Jill is depressed, I doubt that that would preclude posing for a picture or two with the baby until now. Not sure what anyone thinks depressed people look like, but it's not the sort of thing that would prevent her from holding the baby or getting a picture taken. She looks a little tired in the photo, but that's to be expected. They probably waited until Sammy was off the monitors and out of NICU before doing photos for the public. I had a knee replacement 5 weeks ago and she looks better than I do, which is my measure for how she is doing.
