In the interest of brevity, I’d like to say that I am entirely in awe of Li Han’s resilience in the face of this new human’s constant and immediate need for her body. It’s been 51 hours now of pretty much non-stop nursing — right on the heels of 36(?) hours of her body racking itself open, and then pushing to deliver a human. Miracle de Dieu!
We’re adjusting to this new reality as we get used to this exquisite new human.
We’re hopeful to be home tomorrow; much depends on the effectiveness of the blue light machine.
The days meld together; I’m sure there are already 1000 images of this child. But here are two of my favorite Li Han- Tali moments. I can’t link the videos here but can share if you text me:
We are so grateful that our child is strong and healthy. And she’s relatively serene much of the time! We’re very blessed to introduce you to our first child, your grandchild, cousin, niece, and perhaps soon-to-be friend: Arden Leigh Solomon-Chan. Come visit us!
With love and great rejoicing,
Li Han & Tandy

Beautiful name (that scans beautifully!) for a beautiful babe! Sending you love!

Congratulations! What an amazing journey for the 3 of you and the window on this miracle you have given to all of us! Such a blessing. It’s been a while since I’ve been immersed so deeply in a birth. I feel a renewed sense of awe; a humbling before the power you have brought to this nexus, Li Han; the deep loving support you have wrapped this moment in, Tandy; and deep gratitude for your sharing. The baby is adorable. And the adventure continues to unfold! Much love to y’all!
