!Saludos! Si, desde hace tiempo no decimos nada y es que la vida da vueltas. El 3 de mayo Carla ingreso al hospital de emergencia con dolor gastrico espectacular. Resulto siendo la vesicula y despues de 4 dias regresamos todos a casa. Maya se quedo con Carla y alli seguia mamando y creciendo. Este jueves 18 de mayo Carla regresa al hospital para que la operen y le quiten la vesicula con laparoscopia. Primero Dios todo saldra bien.
Maya sigue creciendo bien. El miercoles 10 de marzo peso ya 11 lbs. 11 oz. y midio 57 cm. Con razon ya cuesta mas cargarla. Ya tuvo sus primeras vacunas y si tuvo reaccion pero no muy mala.
Aqui abajo fotos de las ultimas tres semanas, las mas recientes arriba.
Greetings! Yes, it has been some time since we posted. Life is full of curve balls. On 3rd May, Carla was admitted to hospital with extreme gastric pain. It turned out to be gall stones and pancreatitis and after 4 days we were all back home. Maya stayed with Carla in hospital, kept feeding, laughing and growing. This thursday 18th May Carla returns to hospital for laparoscopy to get gall bladder taken out. We hope that all will be well.
Maya keeps growing and doing well. On Wednesday 10th May she weighed in at 11 lbs. 11 oz. and measured 57 cm. No wonder it is getting harder to pick her up. She also had her first round of immunisations and although she did have a reaction it was not too bad.
Below, photos from the last 3 weeks, the most recent are first.
