Chodwery Baby update
A few days ago, my beautiful baby girl was born.7 pounds 5 ounces, 20 inches long.
It was amazing helping/watching her be born. It's among the neatest things I've ever experienced. Definitely a highlight of my life.
The baby needed to spend a day in the hospital because she was jaundiced. They were able to hydrate her and lower her bilirubin to an acceptable level for her to come home.
It's been an exhausting, harrowing couple of days for us. My wife is recovering fairly well. She's upset and getting frustrated that her milk hasn't fully come in yet. So we need to feed the baby a combination of formula and milk. She's also a little more emotional than usual. I guess this is a side effect of her hormones being knocked all over the place.

Congrats you two! Can't wait to see a pic of her. If you get one to Michelle she can forward it to us. Kat & Neil Thomas - Michelle's friends from Kansas
I hope baby is doing better and HC too!
Hey folks,
Yes Baby & HC are both doing better. We went to the Pediatrician today and they were happy with her hydration and weight. They sent us to Children's Hospital to get blood work done to check on the Jaundice.
The Pediatricians called back later in the afternoon with the good news. The baby's jaundice is going down.
Yeah Baby Chowder is getting better!!! That's great news!!
Ooops...that last comment (from Curl) is me. Forgot to log out of my other account!
Kat sez...Michelle fowarded the pics of baby chowder, she is reallllly cute. Love all that hair, makes her look like a little person, not a newborn. Congrats again.
