On this day, october 24th 2007 at 6:05 PM MST, Myla K. was delivered by c-section into the very capable hands of the neonatal staff at our hospital (smc). She weighs One Pound, six ounces, measures 12 1/4" long. Not much longer than a "Rockies Dog." Both mom and baby are doing great, getting excellent care and much needed rest. Myla should be off the ventilator tomorrow or at least they should be able to take out the breathing tube and then start feeding in a few days but until then she'll get protiens and calories and fat through the line in her belly button. She is able to grasp at my finger with her whole hand, she is absolutely beautiful!
Kara is recovering and should be able to see her baby tomorrow as well and start moving around more to keep from getting stiff and sore at the abdomen. But she is more excited about being able to finally drink some water and eat some food for the first time in a while.
More to come soon, including pictures and maybe even video if I can figure out how to post all that kind of stuff, with Kara's help of course. ;o)
