Whew - take a deep breathe. Carrig is a great kid but there is so much to learn, so much to worry about, and, in turn, so much that one quickly realizes that one shouldn't worry about. Each day seems to present a new challenge: Where is the fine line too much weight loss and just enough weight loss. A billirubin of 12, what does that mean? Pee on the wall, pee on the floor, pee on Curious George - how do you clean Curious George? It seems like everyday we ask ourselves questions that we didn't know people even asked before having a Carrig. I hope to use this blog to let our friends and family know what's new in the world of Carrig and to keep you all abreast of our new adventures in parenthood. If this first week is a good indication of what's to come, there should be no shortage of things to discuss.
Since this is my first post, lets review some of the details:
Carrig Porter Sanger
Born at Mt. Auburn Hospital (Rm 1 in case you were wondering)
2:41am on January 10, 2010
Carrig - Gaelic for "rock" or "stone"
Porter- one who carries heavy loads, often in the mountains or hotels (ignore the hotels part, that's kind of lame)
From what we are told, Kristin's body "is made for making babies." (From Mercy the delivery nurse) As far as first pregnancies go, Kristin apparently had a pretty smooth delivery. Her water broke at 8:30pm, at the hospital by 9:15, epidural at 12:00am, and baby at 2:41. The only small hitch was the lack of an available delivery room the night we arrived at the hospital due to the 24 babies born in the previous 48hrs. Luckily everything went smoothly and Carrig joined us later that morning.
So stay tuned for more random thoughts, funny stories at least to a couple of new, inexperienced parents, and other anecdotes about raising this new kiddo. It promises to be an adventure.
