Karina's First Week Home

We were discharged from the hospital on Thursday, 10/18/07 after 4 days in the hospital. We thought we were home free until Karina's appointment at the pediatrician the next morning. We were sent to Children's Hospital to have her jaundice and dehydration checked out, and we ended up getting admitted for the night. Karina spent 12 hours that evening under ultraviolet lights.

We've now been home since 10/20 without any interruptions, and as you can see by the photos below, Karina is happy and adjusting well.

This is pretty much what she does with 90% of her day...

Sensing a pattern here?

10/15/07 - Karina's Birthday!

Karina is finally here! 6 days shy of her due date, we made a trip to the hospital to get something checked out, and 5 minutes after we got to triage, Marie's water broke. 19 hours later, our beautiful baby girl was born.
