Evicted on May 20, 2006 at 1:31am! I didn't wanna come out...mom was checked in on May 18th around 3pm and they sent her home on May 19th at 10am even though there were contractions bouncing me around every 2-3 minutes...I just hung out and enjoyed the ride! But, finally, my lovely water world burst and we all went back to Sutter....Several hours later, I gave up and came out.

Dad, Auntie Heather and Auntie Cindy (and, of course, MOM) were all there. I tried eating immediately, but there was not much (so sad!).

I was pooping and peeing like mad, but apparently, I was still too yella and, shockingly, a sneeze (as the docs would have it) away from needing a blood exchange transfusion, so I was whisked off to the Dominican NICU where I stayed for the next several days.

I had a mask over my eyeballs, so even though I could hear mom and dad yapping away at me, I couldn't see them. They were quite concerned about me, but I'm a trooper.

After I plumped up a little, I finally got to go home (nice hat, eh?)...

Oh, I weighed in at 6 lbs. 15.6 oz (officially 7 lbs.), 20 inches
