The good thing about private rooms is that you can have a few more folks in the room than the rules allow. We are social people and get energy from having people around, so it was nice to have a bunch of visitors yesterday. Here are some of Annabelle’s first visitors: Kara, Uncle Matt, McKenna [...]
At the 3 a.m. feeding it hit me…Christine. We agreed on it this morning and 60 seconds later the Birth Certificate Office called. Annabelle Christine Espinoza. Phew. Just in the nick of time.
When I told him how much baby formula cost, as a reason to encourage breast feeding, JD replied: “WHAT!?!?! For that price, I’ll start lactating!” I will be sure to take pictures it if it happens
