This is going to be quick, but I wanted to post an update on Baby Zoe. After a (relatively) smooth delivery and hospital stay, we learned Sat. that Zoe’s platelet level was a little low. (Like mother, like daugher!) The doctors think the count is a temporary thing, and they say she looks great (they never would have even checked her platelet level if it wasn’t for my history) – but they do want to boost her level before sending her home. We’re all still at the hospital (technically, I was formally charged on Sat., but they’re letting us stay in our room as “boarders”), and it looks like Zoe will need a day or two of treatment.

We were disappointed that we couldn’t bring her home on Sat., but we’re glad she’s getting the platelet thing taken care of. (Note: if I never hear the word “platelet” again, it will be too soon!) Plus, everyone at the hospital has been great, and we’ve had a lot of fun feeding and spending time with her these past few days…

We have about a zillion pictures (she already looks so different – much cuter – than she did Thurs. night!), and I can’t wait to share them with everyone! Hopefully we’ll be able to upload all of them very shortly.
