At the doctor’s. Something they pronounce “billy-rueben” is high, it means she’s a bit jaundiced. Nothing threatening, we just have to be on top of keeping her fed. Can’t let her sleep through a feeding time. And she has to be poked in the foot to draw blood to test the levels. She’s not fond of that.
It’s tuesday morning. We’re still at the hospital, but we’re free to go at any time. Lisa’s taking a nap. After that we head home!
Did you know that these days kids are legally required to be in a child seat until the second year of grad school?
Good morning, it’s Day One here. Yesterday was quite an experience. Once labor started happening she arrived quite quick, in just 20 minutes! The whole experience was remarkably calm compared to what I was expecting.
We’re still working on her name, we’re getting closer. She arrived at 9:49 am. Six pounds, four ounces. 19.5 inches.
Everyone’s healthy and happy, though there were two issues we had to get through. Baby had low blood sugar and as a result the doctors had to keep pricking her foot to check on that (ouch!) and also gave her some formula in addition to the breast feeding. Lisa had some pretty alarming hemorrhaging and lost a liter of blood. She’s fine now. However, she was pretty knocked out and needed rest. We’re expecting to spend one more night in the hospital to rest and recover.
Lisa says she’s up for some visitors. If you’d like to come by give us a call and we’ll give you the details.
The little girl sure is adorable!
