Bailey and I got to come home from the hospital yesterday (Saturday) afternoon. Just barely thought... her biliruben count had to be below 15 and hers was 14. She had lost 10% of her body weight too, down to 6 pounds, 4 ounces. They wanted to keep her but we wanted to come home!
We all got settled and watched the Kentucky basketball game as a family. Dana dressed her in her Kentucky Wildcat pajamas and it must have brought the team luck. It was a good night with her sleeping 2 hours at at stretch between feedings and it was wonderful to sleep in our own bed.
Today, Sunday, the home health nurse came to check on us. I am doing great but Bailey is even more jaundice. Her number today was 18. They brought us a light box that she now has to spend as much time in as possible. This is really hard on me since i can't hold her, except to nurse. Dana is missing his holding time as much as me. The saving grace is that she doesn't seem to mind too much. I cry more than she does!
Does she look like a bathing beauty??
Now just a few pictures so that i can brag how beautiful she is...
