It's hard to believe that you are one week old! It's been an exhausting week. I've had to take you to the hospital each day to have your billirubin levels checked because you had jaundice. That's where your kidneys aren't expelling the leftover billirubin as quickly as they should. It turns your skin a yellowish orange color. It's not harmful - most babies get it. Today was the first day we didn't have to go. It was our first day at home together - just you and me. I thoroughly enjoyed just being at home with you.
Because of the jaundice, the doctor wants me to feed you every two hours - so I haven't been getting a lot of sleep at night but I get to take naps with you during the day. You are the sweetest baby.
I love you so much. You are truly amazing!
