I'm hoping by the no news that baby must be here. I'm hoping all is
going well. You are in my thoughts!

Joy, thank you so much for thinking of me! Yes, baby is he a
beautiful little girl, 7lb (so much for SGA and IUGR), born on Grant's
birthday (Happy Birthday to Grant and you too, Joy!), very like her
brother, quite perfect and healthy except for the SCT.

As soon as I have time I will post her birth story.

She was transfered within hours to the NICU at Children's Hospital,
Boston, where she is now recovering from surgical removal of the SCT.
The surgery went extremely well and her recovery is proceeding rapidly.
Meanwhile, I am a virtual prisoner here by day, constantly either
nursing or pumping, or eating, or doing 2 or more of these things at
once. At night I go "home" to our temporary apartment to sleep, shower
etc., and pump 2-3 times. While I am gone the NICU nurses bottle feed
her from my stash, resorting to formula when the stash runs out. The
formula upsets her stomach somewhat, so I am trying very hard to
produce enough milk. At day 7, she likes 3oz every 3 hours. My milk
has come in really well (I am so glad she is not my first baby), but
24oz/day is a struggle.

Children's Hospital, Boston is wonderful.

Oh Pologirl! Congrats! I'm so pleased that she was so big, and her SCT
removal surgery went so well. And it sounds like she's an eater! Taylor
was 8lbs 8oz at birth and was only eating about 2 ounces at a feeding at
that age! You go girl! Both of you!

Congrats! That's such great news, and I, too, had been wondering about
you.

I think Childrens' is amazing -- unfortunately, DD2 also thinks its
such a great place and she had such a great time there (for an MRI)
that she talks about how she wishes she could go back, perhaps get
really hurt somehow, just to see that place again. Errr...

Congrats again!

Caledonia

I was thinking about you too.Congratulations on you new baby girl!!
Excellent that everything is going so well.

Congratulations! Glad the surgery went well, and hope she makes a speedy
recovery. You're doing a great job pumping too.
