After 24 very long hours for my sister Becca and her husband Andy, they welcomed 8lb 12 oz Maia Lauren into the world this morning! She was delivered by c-section. She had a bit of a rough start, and was sent to the NICU for mild respiratory distress. As you can see, as of about 10am, she was still on either O2 per nasal cannula, or flowpap, which is oxygen support combined with a small amount of flow pressure to help her breathe. She also has an IV, and since they just found blood in her stool, that's likely to be her only source of nutrition and hyrdation for a while. I just talked to my parents, who are on their way up, and Becca's doing ok - it was a really long night for her, and she's evidently got a morphine drip for pain control. She hasn't seen her daughter in person yet. Please keep Maia, Becca, and Andy in your prayers as they recover and start to get to know each other as a family.
