Update from the hospital

[velvetpage]

Hello everybody. sassy_fae is typing this up for me as Claire nurses and Piet sits on the floor. *pyat waves while eating a timbit*

We've had a pretty good day overall; the paraphernalia of surgery is all gone, Claire has met most of her relatives (and charmed them all,) and I've had lots of opportunities to doze. In fact it's empting to doze while she's nursing: gotta love those endorphins. Tomorrow will be the most difficult day as my milk will not be in but Claire will be truly hungry. If all goes well, my milk should come in Tuesday, in which case we'll get to go home.

We have an appointment with the paediatric orthopaedic surgeon at McMaster on Tuesday to discus Claire's hips.

Thank you all for your kind wishes, I'm looking forward to answering everybody when I get home.


(Note from the transcriber: Erin is looking great and the baby is even cuter than the pictures suggest! Claire is so expressive and utterly charming, even at one day old. I took a couple pictures of the happy parents with their new baby girl,

She's just so gorgeous. And pyat is playing the part of a proud daddy very well in that picture. :)

Yay! Continued good news! :-)
Sorry to hear about Claire's hips, but it sounds like something that can be readily fixed. Max has a problem with his toes that will need surgery later on, but there are ever so many worse things that could be wrong.
Good luck with your continued recovery and bonding. You all look so happy!

Blessings to you all! What does Elizabeth think of her new sister? I hope that all goes well with the orthopedic surgeon.

Momma, you are positively glowing in that picture. The three of you look wonderful together, but your face in that shot captures the beauty of motherhood.
