Congratulations on the birth of your daughter! I am so very happy for you. I know both of you have been through a lot. Thank you so much for sharing your story. Can't wait for pics.

Wonderful! Just seeing the thread brought tears to my eyes. I will be adding my thoughts and prayers on Aerin's behalf. She seems like a real trooper!

Y'know I do sort of feel Aerin is a communal hatrack baby - we've read the threads about the struggle to conceive, we've all hoped and prayed when things didn't go so well and now we're all so happy she's here.
It's a nice feeling of community.
(Not, of course, to take anything away from Aerin's *real-life* parents and family - who I am sure went through much, much more than we did. But it's kinda neat. )

imogen, I kind of feel like she's a niece or something, myself. (Or at least a second cousin.) It's kind of a special proprietary, protective feeling, isn't it? Your little one has so much extra Hatrack love, Kira! Not that all babies on Hatrack don't, but I've spent so many hours praying for this little one, I feel like I'm bonded to her already.

Congtratulations! I'm very glad to hear that you both are doing well. I think it is a beautiful name too. I hope Aerin Amelia's health continues to improve.

Thank you all for this amazing outpouring love and support. I consider all of you uncles and aunts.
Wonderful news! The Indocin worked - Aerin's ductus closed!!!! I am so happy. She made it through her first setback the easiest way possible. They're even going to try feeding her a tiny bit today and see how she tolerates it.
She is so fantastic. She's under a bili light and has to wear an eye mask and she hates it. She has figured out how to push it off and has the poor nurses running all day and night to put it back. Andrew and I think it's adorable. We're hoping they shut off the light soon - she doesn't look jaundiced at all to me.
I'm being discharged today with very mixed emotions. They told me yesterday and I had a mini-meltdown at the thought of leaving her. We'll see how it goes - I'm coming right back to the hospital as soon as I get settled at home. We also start our support group tonight, right here in the hospital.
