Kaitlyn Michelle Starr joined us on Wednesday, November 12th, 2008, at 9:19pm.
She weighed 5lbs. 14oz, she was 19 inches long, and has lots of curly dark brown hair!
Kaitlyn has had some issues with her blood sugar being too low, so she had to be admitted to the Neonatal ICU and placed on IV fluids with 10% Dextrose. She also had some minor breathing problems for the first few hours that required a little oxygen and increased monitoring. Her respiratory issues have resolved, and her blood sugar has stabilized on the IV fluids. Now we are just trying to get her to eat so the IV can come out and she can go home!
Kaitlyn and a very proud Daddy!
Daddy bought Talon a really cute monkey, and gave it to him when he came up to the hospital to see his new little sister.

Big brother, Talon, taking a look at his little sister. He wasn't really sure what to make of the whole thing!
***Kaitlyn is named after her grandmas, Melinda 'Kay' and Erna 'Linn', and she inherited Mommy's middle name 'Michelle'***

Congratulations, Candice! You now have a set of "Junior Jeremy and Candice" children to give you the stress that you and your brother gave to mom! Oh boy, are you in for a wild ride.... Lets hope that yours aren't quite as adventurous as you were, huh? At least you have a few months before the team unites. Or, maybe you'd like to have 2 more, so you have some docile ones, too! :) Glad to hear that you're doing well. Take Care,

In the picture of Talon by himself, it looks as if he wants to say, "Can we put her back, if I give the monkey back?" :)

Congratulations Candice! She looks so cute! I've been checking your blog since you sent out your email announcing it. I love seeing your family updates. Have fun with your new little girl!
