Ava Valentina is here!

Well I am pretty late with this update!

My water broke 2/28 and she was born 2/29 (leap year!) at 5:21 am  4 lbs 13 oz 18 in.

She was in the NICU for two weeks and discharged last Weds.  She didn't need any major interventions,  just the isolette for her temp., a feeding tube, and the bili lights for a few days.  Her eating was the main problem, she was losing too much weight.

It is such a relief to be out of the NICU!  I was practically living there, it was so difficult to leave her at night.  I don't know how families do it for months.  Thank goodness my mom flew in the day she was born.  DH didn't want to start his paternity leave until she was discharged.

She is eating great now and close to 5 lbs.
