Introducing Adele Elizabeth

Ten minutes after being born, in the NICU.


That's her lovely head IV. When they moved us to the regular new born unit, she was the only one to have one. The other babies teased her relentlessly.
No, this is not a camera angle thing. That is really the size of her head in proportion to Ryan's hand.

Elsa and Adele meeting for the first time.




This is them flushing out her head IV and checking her...what ever those wires are checking.

She was the smallest baby on the regular unit, and the biggest in the NICU. She didn't really fit in. You know she is my kid though, low percent of body fat, and yet some how she manages to get chunky thighs. World just ain't fair.
