The Family is Growing

On Thursday night, we welcomed Morgan Mackenzie Adrien into our life. She was born at 10:34pm, weighing 5lb 4oz and measuring 18.5 inches. In an apparent tradition, Morgan was taken directly into the NICU for care. I guess you might say Jill and I are fortunate in that we now know what to expect from these complications, for this we thank Kaylee. In the several days since she was born, Morgan has made significant progress. Today the nurses were able to remove her from the ventilator and she is doing well. While visiting today, we gave her a pacifier for the first time which she actually sucked on a bit. Great news! She is having a bit of trouble swallowing but she seems to be starting off a bit stronger than Kaylee. Here is a picture for today and a link to all the photos thus far.
