Johanna at the hospital



Madeline Claire Riegal was born at 7:13 pm on Sunday April 29th. She weighed 4 lbs and 5 ounces. She is currently in the NICU doing very well. Chanda is doing great. They went to the hospital around 1pm and she progressed from 2 to 10 by 7pm and only pushed for 13 minutes, which was around 8 pushes (lucky girl). We don't have any pictures of Maddie yet, we didn't take the camera into the NICU when we held her. She does have light brown hair and is tiny. She may come home this week if her blood oxygen level stays level. Al couldn't switch his flight so he went to Springfield MO as planned and hopped in a car, after like 27 hours on a plane, and drove here.

Adyson and I are now back to school. We started last week. It was a really hard week. I cried on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday nights and when I dropped her off the first day. She had her two month doctor's appointment on last Monday and she weighs 11 lbs and 1 ounce and is 23 inches long. She is doing great. She has been cranky yesterday and today at school. She is not use to the noise and is not sleeping very well during the day, so when we go home she eats, takes a nap, eats, then she crashes and sleeps thru the night.

Johanna had her doctor's appointment today. They did an ultrasound on the baby. The baby is 4 lbs and 15 ounces, which puts them in the 12th percentile which is good and she is 1-2 cm dilated. They want the baby to gain 1 to 1 1/2 pounds before they are born. She has 4 weeks till her due date. She really wants to go full term this pregnancy.
