Lower Levels!

Claire is doing better! On Wednesday, her bili level was 12.5, so the doctor had me take Claire off the bilibed. - So I actually got to hold her more, and she got to sleep in her own bed. :-) And today her level was 11.9, so (drumroll, please...) we DON'T have to go to the doctor tomorrow for another level check!!! Yay! And that means she doesn't have to get her heel pricked again for a blood draw! The doctor simply said if she starts looking yellow again, we need to take her back.

She did lose two ounces between yesterday and today, but we'll keep feeding her to get her back up to her birth-weight.

Claire has enjoyed some other sleeping places - besides the bilibed. She likes being all wrapped up in her bassinet. (And Dad put that Tech hat on!!! Cool, huh?!!!) This was taken on April 2.


And here she is enjoying a nap with Dad on April 3. She does look a little yellow in this one. But she's more pink now!!

Glad to hear she's doing better and won't have to be stuck tomorrow! Speaking of tomorrow, she should also have another cousin by then!

oh, she is so cute. And so little! When they grow older, so slowly, you forget how small they started out!

Hooray for dropping bili levels

So cute! I can't wait to see her! I am glad she is getting better, or I should say less yellow!
