home
just a driveby to say that walter paul radford and i are home from the hospital and doing great.
i went in for my OB appointment on tuesday and was told to walk over to the hospital to be induced that evening because walter might be 9 pounds, and they, all of a sudden, "never allow GD moms to go past their due date", even though they had said the opposite the whole time leading up to this. anyway, they tried for a while but i developed severe preeclampsia and had to have a c section. it was not ideal, but it did not spoil all the fun. i will write the full birth story as soon as i can. right now i'm in survival mode trying to breastfeed and get enough sleep. thank god mr V is being a champ dad so far. plus, my blood pressure is still crazy high, so i also have to try to do the absolute minimum moving around. tough when i never really got done setting up the apartment.
oh, and walter ended up weighing only 6 pounds 11 ounces.

Welcome to the outside, wee Walter!
And, Tia, I'm glad to hear that you're doing well -- despite the blood pressure -- and a little less glad that your birth experience was less than ideal. A healthy baby and a whole you means a good outcome, though, and that is, of course, what counts. Still, bummer.
Much love.
SO beautiful Tia! Walter is just incredible. Congrats to you and Warren.
love,
Katrin
Gorgeous! I'm glad you're both home safely. Walter's going to have movie-star lips!
Wow. I can't believe after all that "you're gonna have a hundred-pound baby" stuff that he was only 6 lb, 11 oz. So glad you posted -- and I hope to read more (and, yes, perhaps see you more). And that little stuffed...rabbit? you made is amazing. Walt (is that what you're calling him?) is One Lucky Baby. xoxo
