4 Hours Old

Hayley is now over 4 hours old! She is doing really well, they did a bit of blood work and her glucose levels came back very good, which means she is getting some good nutrition from Mommy.

She was a little cold due to being born a little small (weightwise, anyhow, she is good and long!). This was remedied by letting her have a nice sleep under a heat lamp. She really seemed to like this, and it brought her temperature right up to where it should be. I've attached a picture below of Hayley under the heat lamp doing a bit of sunbathing.

As you can tell from the picture below, she has a little bit of a cleft lip, though her palate is perfectly formed. The doctor said that a surgery done a little bit down the road should fix her lip right up. She is doing great though, she is feeding well and is very alert and active. Probably we will be allowed to go home Saturday morning, I think.
