A Few More Thoughts

I'm trying to get a few more thoughts down of the last few day's happenings while they are still fresh.  As I suspect is the case with most blog posts, this one is really more for jounalistic purposes than anything else.

Ireland was on the high-end of what's acceptable for jaundice when we left the hospital.  Unfortunately our pediatrician didn't communicate well to us what that meant in the days following so we went in to see him a week after the birth just to get some piece of mind.  The jaundice was fine, the big news was that Ireland had gained a half pound from her birth weight.  Our pediatrician said it was unprecedented. At any rate, everything seems to be working properly and our girl is growing and healthy.

Ally caught a cold the day we went in for surgery.  Couldn't believe it.  So she's been wearing one of those medical masks this whole week when holding Ireland.  She has found the whole thing very annoying (Ally, not Ireland).  The more negative offshoot has been the bad cough Ally's had to deal with while trying to recover from having her abdomen sliced open.  Needless to say that's not a winning combination.

Ireland is wonderful.  We couldn't ask for a better baby.  She eats well, sleeps well, and does the one other thing that's expected of her well.  She is just beautiful and lovely.  I'm excited for her and Bliare to get to know each other and become friends.  They both make me very happy.
