6:01 PM Everly May is born!!!

At 6:01 PM weighing in at 7 pounds 14 ounces Everly May Najarian is born into the world! She is doing well and currently off being assessed in another room while Katrina is getting some routine care. Katrina did a wonderful job and our hearts are so entirely full!

Pictures will come in time, we are not taking visitors right at the moment but we will be taking immediate family soon. We’ll all catch up over these next several hours and upcoming days.

We want to thank every single staff member at Wilson who made this what a wonderful day that it was. There are not enough great things to say about these people. 

Thank you everyone tuning into this for all of your love, support, kindness, prayers, and every bit of consideration given to us. You are all family and we love you to no end!

What day is it??? Day 3 home??

Here we are, day 3 home. Picture two very tired new parents chiseling a third tally mark in the drywall next to our bed marking the days. Just kidding, it's not that bad! Everly is doing well.

We feed and burp Everly every 3 hours, clean the pump parts, change her diaper, hold her in our arms, wipe her occasional spit-ups, and put her down for naps. If this was everyt...

First Day Home!

 Yesterday was a wild day but I am elated to report that we came home and we came home together as a family! We were nervous that Katrina was going to be discharged from the maternity ward and that our baby would have to be left behind in the NICU. Thankfully the NICU staff was able to accommodate us staying in their one single boarding room which is usually held for mothers who are discharged before their babies are allowed to go home.  Everly was able to start eating more in the NICU (each feeding she was averaging an ounce of formula with whatever amount of breast milk we could mix in the bottle). Also, there had been no more troubles with her breathing. She doesn't cry or make much fuss at all either. We know that the last part may be short lived but we want to believe the theory: chill parents make chill babies.  Katrina has been doing better and better each day with her breast pumping (producing more) and getting Everly to latch on is building strong habits. We are ...
