At birth she weighed 6 lbs 3 oz and was 18.5 inches long\u2026<\/p>\n<p>All looked great until about 5 hours after she was born when the doc decided that she should be admitted to the Neo-Natal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Her blood showed a higher than usual white cell count indicating a possible infection.<\/p>\n<p>Bummer.<\/p>\n<p>After 2.5 days in the NICU and a shot of antibiotics I\u2019m pleased to say that all is now good. We\u2019re all home and doing well\u2026 minus the lack of sleep of course.<\/p>\n<p>But still, I can\u2019t help but feel for those new born babies still in the NICU. There were 66 in total last weekend! Some have been in there for weeks and weeks.When you see helpless little babies hooked up to monitoring equipment with tubes sticking out of them, it makes you appreciate how fragile life is\u2026 and how lucky we are.<\/p>\n<p>Anyhow, enough rambling\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Keep your eyes on your inbox as I\u2019ll be sending out a GREAT drill this week.
