Elizabeth was born yesterday at 2:37 p.m. weighing 6 lbs even. She was 18 inches long and she has blondish, brownish, reddish hair. She is so beautiful and very tiny to say the least. She was taken emergency C-section because of heart rate stress on the baby and the baby started to breath in maconium.
Elizabeth had a head box to help with the oxygen. They found out after doing chest x-rays that she has a pneumothorax. This is where the lung has a hole in it and air is trapped around the layers of the lung. We have not yet had a chance to hold her because of this. This morning we have found out that she is doing better. She is almost completely weaned off the oxygen and they will soon be able to feed her with a bottle and not through a feeding tube. Here is a picture of me. The proud and anxious "adoptive" mother. The nursing staff has treated me well. They refer to me as the "adoptive mom." They let me go in and see her anytime I would like.
Koby is the proud father of an "adorable little girl." He is so excited and can't wait to hold her hopefully today. He just can't quit smiling.
Here is another picture of our little girl head to toe all stretched out. All 18 inches of her. She is going to be a short one just like her mom.
