More baby

Just one picture though. The hospital recommend that the baby lay on Mom's chest, and they encourage Dad to do it too; take your shirt off, lay on the pull out bed, and put her tummy-down on your chest. Cover her up with blankets, and let gravity hold her to you. She really does like it; she calms down no matter what, and goes to sleep. Apparently, she likes to be able to hear your heartbeat, and she won't argue about letting you generate heat for one side of her, either. It's almost like the nice cozy space she was in before she got unceremoniously kicked out.

For any statistic seekers out there (Mom), Afton, when born, weighed 7 pounds, ad was 20.5 inches. (Note that Matt and Amy's baby was also 20.5 inches!) Her ahd an APGAR score of 9, (out of a possible 10).

However, when she was weighed tonight at 5, she had lost 11 ounces. We're working on some feeding 'regulation', and we'll see how well we can get Tracy and Afton working together.

The camera's batteries are dead, and my contacts are getting tired, so I'm going to bed. Bye!
