Small

Here is C-bao on her daily trip to the lab to get her bloodwork done, looking awfully small in her baby carseat. K-bao has grown so fast that it's easy to forget that she was once just this size too. And in just the last few days C-bao has tripled her food intake - so the C-folks better cherish this time before she triples in size as well.

Welcome!

C-bao arrived with pomp and fanfare this weekend. As predicted, she decided not to wait for her scheduled induction and instead opted to exit the womb on her own timetable. Yes, the C-folks are already looking forward to those adolescent years.

On a high note, she was heartily welcomed by her big sister K-bao, who showered her with balloons and gifts even as she was barely opening her eyes.

Unfortunately, like her sister, she has battled high levels of that fiendish chemical product bilirubin (associated with jaundice), which has necessitated daily blood draws at the lab and repeated trips to the doctor's office. However she is facing down the enemy like a champ - including sleeping through a heel prick blood draw session.

Welcome, little one!
