It's a boy!!!



Hello everyone! Welcome to Nico's blog. I guess this is the best way to keep everyone up-to-date with anything and everything Nico. As most of you know by now, David and I had a little boy back on February 22. His name is Nico (knee-co) Mayes Monger. He weighed in at 7lbs. 7oz. and was 19.5 inches. My labor and delivery went very smoothly. My water broke at 8am on the 22nd and Nico was born at 8:05pm...12 hours...not too bad. Our stay at the hospital was a very emotional one. Nico's biliruben count was high (this causes jaundice) due to the fact that our blood types were incompatible. So Nico had to stay in the phototherapy gizmo in the nursery. He was only able to visit us when it was time for him to nurse which was once every three hours for only 30 minutes. We actually had to stay an extra day because the levels didn't get as low as the pediatrician would have liked. This would have been fine except they mistakenly told us that we were going to get to go home the day before. Anyway, we are all good now. We are home and trying to get adjusted to our new life as a family.
