The Kobys

Hello, and welcome to the new TheKobys.com. Please excuse our mess as we work to get things going here again. With a new baby on the way this will be the place to see pictures and get updates. --Michael 2009-02-19

Yes, you read correctly, Conner is now home from the hospital.  Everyone’s happy and Cloe (sister) has gotten to hold him already.  Sister is anxious to show him off to all of her friends.  I have uploaded some new pictures to Flickr and you should see them on the right hand side of this page soon.

For those that are not aware, Conner is still at the hospital in the NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit), where he’s been since Friday morning.  The reason he is there is because:

1. he wasn’t holding down any food
2. he was having some reflux issues, and
3. his jaundice numbers were pretty high.

As of today he has kept two full days worth of meals down and they are still slowly increasing the amount of food he is being given.  He also hasn’t had a reflux “attack” since Friday.  Today his jaundice made a slight return, but they’ll put him under the lights a little bit more.

The nurse and doctor told us that Conner is one of healthier babies in the NICU and that if all goes well, they should be able to discharge him in a couple of days (fingers are officially crossed).

All in all he’s doing well.  He’s responding to are hands with a nice solid grip (which he sometimes refuses to release) and when mommy and daddy hold him his heart rate drops and becomes very chillaxin’ (yes, I said “chillaxin’”). 

Watch this space for more information, and to see when Conner makes his debut appearance at home.

Yesterday the latest addition to the Koby family made his debut appearance.  Conner entered the world on March 18th, 2009 at 8:21pm and coming in at 19 and half inches, weighing in at 6 pounds and 7.2 ounces.  See a couple of pictures below:

 

More pictures will be uploaded to Flickr as soon as i can get access to them, the hospital’s wireless blocks my access to certain websites.  For now, please enjoy these.

Yep, this will be the 3rd iteration of this website.  Since the old ones were pretty stale, I decided it was time to start fresh.  Also with a baby due in about a month’s time it makes sense to start over here.

I’m currently working on filling out the website with some about pages and photo links and stuff. You’ll notice that on the right side of the page there is now some photo thumbnails that will take you to our Flickr page where you will find even more photos.  This will be updated automatically as new pictures are added to the Flickr page.

I’ll work with April over the next week to get ultrasound photos of the future baby uploaded to Flickr so family can get a gander at those.  I’ll also work to get April set up so that she can post to this website as well and hopefully it will be updated more frequently than the previous incarnations of this website.
