Maranie = Mommy

A journey into every new unknown of motherhood.

Saturday, May 03, 2003

We just got home yesterday - 4 days in the hospital is normal for a cesearean. But I'm tired, so just a quick note:

Here's the stats: Veronica Hope Warren was born at 9:16 a.m. on Monday, April 28, 2003. (We arrived early so the doctor decided to start the surgery at 9 instead of 9:30 - not a problem in my book!) Everything went smoothly and wasn't as terrifying as I thought it'd be. Veronica weighed 9 lbs. 6 oz. at birth and is 21 inches long (further verifying the need for a c-section!) Her eyes are slate grey for now, and she has lots of dark brown hair that inexplicably has a bit of a wave to it. Ten fingers, ten toes on some very long feet, and of course we think she's beautiful. :-)

Now I'm not quite exhausted, and she's sleeping, but I need to go pump my breast milk again because we're having some serious problems with feeding (our biggest frustation by far, as she's sleeping a lot so we can't really gripe about that.) But we're working around that, she's getting enough to eat, and she's healthy (and strong!) as a horse, so we're very lucky that it's our only problem. Jason's Aunt Emily is here helping out, and my mom will be up next week, so we even have some much-needed support in these first few days at home.

She is a beautiful little blessing and we adore her. Nothing more to say at the moment. :-)
