She's ALIVE!!

The baby was born two days ago on December 10th at 11:22 AM by C-section due to some pre-eclampsia that I had. I am happy to say that she is doing great and so am I, and she should be home in a few weeks once she gains all of her weight.




Day One:

C-section and birth of baby! Elaina came out screaming with great lungs, great apgar scores, and everything else to boot. Skinny little girl weighed 2 lbs 15 ounces (almost 3 lbs!) She was put in an open air incubator with a few little wires for her body heat and nutrition.


Day Two:

Got to see the baby finally after recovering from the C-section, baby had a mild case of jaundice :( so couldn't see her face. Just wanted to spend all day with her...started pumping breast milk for her to eat.

Day Three:

Jaundice gone! Opened her eyes and she likes pacificer! She likes holding my hand and her little book about Jesus' birth. They moved her into a nicer incubator, looks like a little house, we put up a picture of mommy and daddy for her to see when we are gone. Have to go home today...sob. Hope baby gains weight quickly. She looks so cozy in her little house.
