Meet Safina

That is Safina Kay Flipse, born October 13, 2012 at 3:17am. 5lb 9oz, 19 inches, about two weeks before the estimated due date.

Mom is doing well after a very challenging labor. Dad is not entirely sure how to interact with his daughter, but has decided to try to start out treating her as a peer. Safina is ultimately doing ok, but had some low blood sugars and body temperatures, necessitating transfer to the NICU. Warmed up, she is looking great and the numbers have all headed back toward normal. She will get a little more attention than the average baby, but will hopefully be home after a few days.
