Seth is here

Seth's first breaths of room air. And, showing off all the meconium stained

amnionic fluid.

Day of Life 4

Arriving home. Giving Samantha her big sister gift, a

gigantic Elmo balloon!

Seth Christopher McGowin, born July 12, 10:37 AM. 6 lbs. 7 oz, 19 inches long. After a 5-day NICU (neonatal intensive care unit) stay and after 2 days at home he is doing great. He saw his pediatrician yesterday. His lungs were clear and verything else checked out great. According to their scale, Seth gained 7 ounces in a day, which is impossible. I can tell he's gained weight, though. He's nursing well and sleeping well. He hasn't woken Samantha up (yet) in the middle of the night!
