My wife's family is the same. Kalyn, Kristen Kimberly and her Mom is Karen.

You guys are funny.

Little update:

Wife had her tubral performed about 2 hours after hatching Karigan. She is recovering well, still sore today in the incision area. Karigan is in NICU for low blood sugar, which is being treated with glucose through an IV. She still hasn't gotten the whole eating thing down yet. We tried this afternoon. I had to come home to relive the in-laws from the three year old. I will make the 1.5 hr trip back to the hospital with her tomorrow morning so she can see mama and her new baby sister. After I put Turd to sleep, I will see if I can get on the computer and hotlink pix from Facebook. LOL

Only because it doesn't snow in Florida.

I'm not seeing all the photos but the one I do see (your two daughters) shows you have a beautiful family. Congratulations!

Back at work today, Karigan is still in NICU an hour and a half away. April is there with her and April's mom is on the way up there to be with her. She's doing well, but not 100%. Just has to get the whole eating thing down and then she'll be OK.

Sorry about the NICU, I hear those can be terrible experiences. Hope your wife recovers soon, I learned that tubals are way worse than vasectomies, which is what we did.

Small steps. It sounds like everything is working it's way out, so congratulations.

Congratulations! I remember when my 16 y/o looked like that; a little old man dipped in ATF. And oh yes I remember those first super poops.

April told me if she had known the tubral would have been so painful, she would have MADE me get a vasectomy. Seeing her in that much pain, I would have too.

The NICU is actually fantastic. The staff there is great, all the nurses are super nice and the doctors are amazing. They're very informative and very personable. I actually quite like going in there and visiting with Karigan and with the staff.

Good to hear. is the baby nursing at all? That is where most NICUs fall short, and it can be very hard to get the baby back on Mothers milk.

The vasectomy recovery was nothing. I sat on peas for a day, and walked a bit slower, but not even one day out of work. I'm sorry I didn't have the chance to relay this to you when it was useful.

She's nursing, but April doesn't produce much. She's probably just going to pump and bottle feed her and suplement with formula.

Lots of people told me about the vasectomy, but I'm a huge vagina... There, I said it.

UPDATE:

They have turned off the blue light, as well as the bed heater. Her jaundice has pretty much gone and now they're testing to see if she can self regulate her body temperature without the help of the heater. 48 hour test begins now...
