Introducing Elsa Kyrene! She was born at 1:22 pm. She weighed in at 8 lb 14 oz and 19.5 inches long. She’s chunky and short. Very, very chunky! She won’t even fit into the hat they provide and the ped said we need to get the next size up in diapers. I have a feeling our drawer of newborn clothes needs to be cleaned out ASAP.
Things have went pretty well today, other than an almost two hour delay in the morning. The mother in front of us wasn’t numbed by her spinal so had to be knocked out completely. Poor woman! That delayed everything, but at least my c-section went exactly as planned and everything has been good.
Elsa is nursing like a champ and sleeping really well in her bassinet. We’re trying to put her in it as much as possible so she doesn’t get used to being held 24/7 like a boy I could name.
Not much else going on. I’m exhausted and groggy and don’t have much to say.
Click through the picture for a few more. We didn’t get any really good ones today. I need to train Mike to take LOTS of pictures, then we have more to pick from.
