Motherhood

This is funny at first, but not really when you stop to think about it!

All's Well

I figured it was time for an update now that Kara is already two weeks old (as of yesterday)!

Kara was born Tuesday, June 2, 2009 at 4:51PM. She weighed 7 pounds 14 ounces and was 20 inches long. She has a head full of dark hair and is the prettiest baby ever born! :)

When she was born, she had a little trouble with low blood sugar (her blood sugar was 16 when she was born...all part of having a mom with diabetes). Her body has now learned to regulate it on her own, so she is perfectly fine! She also had a little jaundice and had to spend a day and a half on a bili pad, but that is all fine now too.

I'm doing good too (not that anyone asks about me anymore...it's all about Kara! haha). I am still getting over the C-section, but apparently I'm doing better than anyone expected. Yesterday, I went to my OB for my two week follow up and everything is great. I do have a little drainage at my incision site and I'm having to keep it clean, dry, and bandaged, but it will be just fine.

Well, that is it from me. I'm leaving you with some pictures of our precious little one!
