October 16-23, 2005 -- Kaeta's First Week

This was taken about an hour after Kaeta's birth. She was born at 12:33am, October 16, 2005.
A crowd of happy friends and family in the hallway at the hospital.
Kaeta's first bath (in the nursery at Seton Medical Center)
Just a few hours after birth, she had already adopted a popular hair style!
After they inked her foot for a birth certificate, she kicked me really hard in the arm! (Kaeta's uncle Andy started the tradition of having each baby's footprint inked on his arm when born, and I thought it was a great idea!)

On the afternoon of the 16th, Kaeta was taken to the Neonatal ICU for observation because she had a low temperature.
Our baby is not a cyborg! The wire hooked into her head is from an I.V.
After a full week in the NICU (for various reasons), Kaeta is pronounced healthy and gets to come home.
