Despite 8 weeks of bedrest for Mommy, Kate still decided to show up a little early! She was born on May 12th at 5:55 pm via C-section. She was 5 lbs 2.6 oz and 18 inches long. Even though she was only 36 1/2 weeks at delivery, she came out crying and she was breathing well. However, after an hour or two, she was working pretty hard to breathe and get the fluid out of her lungs, so they took her to the NICU for observation. She stayed in the NICU for approximately 36 hours before being transferred up to the room with Mommy. Both Mommy and Kate were released from the hospital on Thursday, and everyone is trying to adjust to having a newborn in the house again.
She's a tiny little peanut, but is doing really well - eating and sleeping like a pro already. Megan was very excited to see Kate - she keeps saying "Baby" and running over to check on her. She tries to give her a bottle and a blanket and share her toys!
Mommy, Daddy and Big Sister Megan are really hapy she's here and home with us safe and sound. Let the adventure of having "two under two" begin!
