Baby McGladrey Has Arrived!!


Well, I will make this quick (as I have just arrived home from the hospital), but our sweet baby girl arrived 7 weeks early. I went into labor unexpectedly on Friday night and she was born at 3:01 a.m. Saturday morning. She is in the NICU at St. Vincent and doing well for her age. She is needing a bit of help with oxygen and they are watching her for jaundice and infection. We can expect her home in two weeks, and we have a lot to do before then - which includes a name, so pass on any suggestions you may have =). I'm a bit emotional today without a baby and having to pump every 2-3 hours, but my goal is to see her every day. Please keep her in your prayers!!
P.S. It appears that she has red hair as well!!

i'll keep her in my prayers but i'm sure she came just when she was supposed to! she couldn't wait to get her sweet little life started. i'm glad everyone is well though. . . . names. hmmm. . . we were going to name palmer Livia if he was a girl (olivia). i love the nick name Livey, it was mark twain's wife's name. now kiko's friend took it so we can't use it if we have a girl. be well

Two weeks will go by quick and you'll have her home! She has such a precious little face... all squished up :o) Continuing to pray, of course. Oh, and this weather! Hope the drive to and from the hospital isn't too awful! Can't wait to meet her-

Ah! My mouth just dropped! I'm so happy for you and your family, but I can't imagine what you're going through...leaving your baby in the hospital. You are certainly in my prayers. *hug*

What a sweet little treasure! Congratulations, and I will be thinking of you all in the coming weeks. Good luck with getting everything ready -- redheaded girls are, of course, fantastic but definitely can be a handful! I heard the name Vivian the other day and I think it's very pretty. :)
