I am delayed in officially announcing her birth here on our blog, but better late than never, right?
Adelina Lorraine Bianco was born on July 14, 2010 at 2:28pm. She weighed 7 lbs, 7 oz and was 19.5 inches long. I was in labor with her for over 30 hours. She was very stubborn about making her appearance and even though my contractions began at 5:30am on July 13, she decided to wait and therefore be born on her paternal grandmother's birthday. She gave us a little scare when she was born; she had a mucous plug in her lungs and temporarily stopped breathing. Because of this, she spent her first 24 hours in the neonatal intensive care unit. She improved and was able to join us on the maternity floor by the next afternoon.
Adelina is now 5 weeks old. She is getting better about sleeping and can go for 3 hour stretches overnight (this makes her mommy and daddy very happy). She is starting to smile more and makes more noises than just crying and grunting. She is very strong; she has been able to hold her head up since birth. She currently weighs 9 lbs, 12 oz and is 21 1/4 inches long. She continues to amaze us and we are so blessed to have her in our lives!
Here are some pictures of the baby girl so far:
