Frankie had her first doctor's visit today and she is doing just fine. A little jaundiced but not too much. She has gained back up to 5 lbs 12 oz. She is eating like there's no tomorrow and has started sleeping a lot more too, now that mom's milk has come in.
Off to bed and back to work for me.

One of the above four pics is Christian almost 3 years ago. While the pink top is a giveaway, I think it's hard to tell the difference otherwise.
Some women are in labor longer than we were in the hospital. Laura checked in around 3:30 or so on the 15th and they kicked us out the 16th at about 7:30. If we decide to have 3, I'd better read up on how to deliver babies.
Frankie has been eating nearly nonstop since she was born. I feel sorry for Laura not being able to rest for long periods of time. But we've agreed that if she's just plum tuckered then dad can feed her formula tonight.
Christian loves his baby sister but has also been acting up a little, wanting attention. But this is understandable and we knew it would happen. We are making sure he knows he's loved too. Today we flew a kite at Gasworks park and I took some pics there too.

2:00 p.m. Laura falls while walking on the street. Her water breaks immediately.
3:30 p.m. Laura's mom gets her to the hospital.
6:17 p.m. Little Frankie Kincade is born. Mother and daughter are doing well.
She looks a little gray in the weighing picture above, but, you can see, she got color in her face very soon. I forgot how quiet and cute a newborn cry is. They get lungs in a few months. I'll enjoy it while it lasts.
She is breastfeeding a crazy amount. She is very healthy and I think we'll get booted from the hospital today. More updates to come.
