Aaaaaand we’re back at the NICU

2013-02-13Uncategorized Standard

Hrefna noticed a bit labored breathing and increased irritation in ourn little girl so after measuring a slight fever the doctors decided to put her under observation at the NICU, suspecting a slight infection.

2013-02-13Uncategorized Standard

Ms. Bambino is now 24 hours old.  She’s energetic, drinks like a champ (if only there were milk!), and likes hanging out on my chest. We’ll be here in the hospital for at least 24 hours more, because pre-eclampsia can be eeevil and my blood pressure is still pretty darn high. But, here’s a photo:Read more

Tomorrow will bring more tests, and possibly some action.  We’llRead more

Contractions…

2013-02-10Uncategorized Standard
