Hello Nugs,
It has been a while, but we have a new nugget. Welcome to the world, Collins! Let's start with your birthday affirmations.
Two for Collins:
1. You are a perfect little angel. 6.5 lbs at birth on the wee morning of the 7th of December.
2. You gave us quite a little scare with your 48-hour visit to the NICU, but in the end, you were okay. You passed your first life test with flying colors.
Medically speaking, after a lovely first 12 hours, you tossed up some green bile, the quickest way to find yourself en route to a different part of Chelsea Westminster. We learned of something called volvulus due to malrotation, or in layman's terms, a plumbing problem. This is an emergency and can be a serious situation. You got the all-clear after two days of testing and excellent medical care.
Sally, Taylor, and baby Collins came home two nights ago, and Collins has settled into a routine with help from her night nurse and namesake, Grandma Peach. Sally also doing well after c-section delivery. Patterns are predictable, and they repeat!
God bless our Collins and her remarkable parents. She can't wait to meet the rest of her family!
Some photos below, plus a poem I wrote titled Collins First Christmas.
