Madison was wide awake from the minute she arrived that night. This trend continues (day 4) and isn't surprising as we labeled her as our gymnast before she even arrived. We are convinced she's the reason for the early delivery as she kicked her way out, demonstrated daily as seen below....
Despite being the smaller sister, she's no pushover. In fact, she's quickly earned the reputation with the nurses as our girl with an attitude. She's giving those vocal chords an early test run too. Like her sister, she's been on "room air" (no oxygen) since birth which is great, especially since it's one less cord for her to pull out. As feisty as she is, she has no qualms about settling down to be held by Mom or Dad...
Brooklyn is tame, as least that's what she'll have us believing for now. We even called her our "lounger" during the pregnancy. She's wide-eyed and curious when being held though.
There have been a couple medical "events" to speak off but nothing significant or unexpected. Brooklyn has had a few bradycardia episodes, where her heart rate rapidly drops, so she is being put on caffeine (sounds like Dad). Both girls have elevated levels of hematocrit (lots of red blood cells) so they've been catching a tan under the bili-lights for a couple days and will probably finish tomorrow.
