One Week!

We made it. All three of us! One week of being a family of three has been trying and fun, more on the fun side.

Kara started out by getting a 9 on the Apgar test (out of 10). Very cool. It was then discovered that she was tongue tied (extra long frenulum). After discussion and prayer, we had the neonatologist perform a frenectomy. She can now latch and suck for breastfeeding, which she still doesn't enjoy (which has lead to some long nights and family crying sessions). So, in order to feed her, Ashley has been pumping breast milk. Which means we both get to feed her! (bonus for daddy!)

We've had lots of family come over and help around the house and give us food. Perhaps more importantly, they get to spend time with Kara.
