If anyone was wondering where I've been...

I was induced on Friday, May 1st.  Nora Jade was born at 7:15pm.  Labor went pretty quickly and she came out in 2 pushes.

Later that night she gave us a scare with her breathing and ended up being sent to the NICU.  She spent the following nine nights in the NICU until her breathing matured.  She is 100% fine and healthy now but she just came home yesterday.

I had been driving back and forth to the hospital daily to maintain breastfeeding.  I'm proud to say that even though she spent over a week in the NICU, she never had to be given any formula!!

Anyway, I just wanted to give a quick update in case anyone was wondering where I was.  We're all home now getting used to life as a family of four.

I'll try to get a pic up soon!
