Scarlett Grace made her debut at 36 weeks on November 27 and is 5lbs9oz.
She was admitted to the nicu to administer antibotics because I had a fever when I came in to deliver. Her test results came back negative for any infection but she will be staying in the hospital until Sunday because she is having some trouble with reflux and the doctor wants to monitor her to make sure she has eating down before we go home. Labor went very well and was a lot less intense that I thought it would be.
The whole experience has been very stressful and I feel very awkward at the nicu, almost like I am bothering the nurses by being there. Fingers crossed her stay will be short, like planned.

Congratulations! She is perfect.
Being in the NICU is awkward at first, but just know that you are not bothering the nurses. They are there to help.
