late night
the biggest piece of advice i got from new moms/moms was to sleep when the baby sleeps. well, it's 12:53am, the baby is sleeping...AND I AM NOT! so much for following advice LOL instead i thought it was a good idea to have an iced coffee with Byron and now we are both wired!
poor Hannah has jaundice and needed phototherapy because her bilirubin levels were unusually high. luckily, we didn't have to go to the hospital, but got to use a bili-blanket at home. we got her levels down and she's a lot less yellow than she was earlier in the week. she also got her heel pricked 4 times to check her bilirubin levels. she's a trooper, but mommy was not. i got all emo after her appointments LOL
she also had her first bath :) it was a very short one because miss thang was crying the whole time. maybe next week's bath won't be so bad!

I only have one tip for baths (sponge baths when the umbilical cord leftovers are still there)....and It took me three kids to learn this one...swaddle the baby in her hooded towel and only pull out the body part your scrubbing then when your done, tuck it back in the towel. Just so her arms aren't free and her extremities are not cold...also keep the bathroom door shut....
