Maria Kathleen

 


In recovery, so maybe an hour old? We didn't take our camera in the delivery room. It's too crazy in there, I don't know how anyone does it. She weighed 9 lbs., 6 oz., and was 21 1/4" long. She yelled but never like Anthony did. We took way more pictures of her in the hospital than we did Anthony. We got her home yesterday, 1/14, around noon, after some nonsense in the hospital about her losing too much weight. People are idiots - this stupid pediatrician at the hospital saw her for like two seconds and decided she would maybe be in danger of dehydration in the future if she didn't start to nurse a lot, once my milk came in. At first I was going to do whatever she said, because I really wanted to get home, but then I got myself together and told her that we would just take her to see her pediatrician today and we bugged out of there. We went to her doctor this morning and she gained 3 oz. overnight so things are good. She is sleeping and eating a lot and not much else. Her clothes are *gigantic* on her, though, which is so weird. Anthony never had long sleeves but man - her little hands get so lost in the sleeves of her clothes and she gets kind of frustrated. Anyway, here she is.
