Katie Ann was born three weeks early as my doctor decided to induce me. My blood pressure was too high, my cervix dilated too early and I had to be put on bed rest for the last two months of my pregnancy. Pretty scary!! My baby had to stay in the hospital for an entire week after she arrived. That was stressful for us. She weighed in at a mere 5 lbs with an Apgar score of 6. But now that she is home, we are settling into a nice routine. She had trouble learning how to breastfeed and lost a little more weight. But three weeks later she is finally gaining weight and not crying quite so much. Her pediatrician will keep a close eye on her over the next few months.
My real kids are thrilled they have a virtual baby sister!
