As I mentioned a few days ago, my little Baby Bean has arrived.  Right now we are still at the hospital.  I have been discharged and am taking advantage of the hospitals Bed & Breakfast program so I can continue to stay at the hospital with her until she is ready to go home.  Since Bean was born at 36 weeks gestation, she is considered a late term preemie and she has been facing a few hurdles.  A few hours after birth she did experience a few issues with breathing but she quickly jumped that hurdle.  She has also been struggling to maintain her body temperature, eat and gain weight and has been a little jaundiced.

While we continue to do everything we can to get her to where she needs to be and work towards our goal of going home, I wanted to take a moment and share some pictures with you.

Enjoy!
