10:44 pm-Well, it’s been an eventful week. The big news: welcome Salem Ysabell Joelle Allen to the world! She arrived Friday 8/31/2007 at 2:42 pm. She was 6 pounds, 17 1/2 inches. Here’s the story: she failed a kick count Friday morning, Erika went to the Dr’s, Dr. said “out she comes”, had to wait 2 hours. Out she came, Erika got some excess tummy out as well, everything’s OK except that she has low blood sugar. So, overfeeding, barf, no rebound, ICU. Once she got onto schedule that all smoothed out then her heart rate dropped while she was sleeping. Erika got discharged Tuesday, Salem Weds.
Luckily I took Friday and Tuesday off, and now I’m on 1/2 days. The boys are back in school. Erika’s friend Tracy was there overnight, then her mom. As you would expect, not much else has happened. Church on Sunday, that’s about it. The boys are overjoyed. I’m tired, and a bit cranky and short tempered. She’s really cute though.
