the first week

the first week at home has been good. carly has been very busy sleeping and getting some good cuddle time with the family!


avery loves to hold carly on her lap.

carly had high bilirubin levels so we went to a few dr. appointments and she had her weight checked and her blood drawn a lot :(

she had to stay on this little bed for a few days to help with the jaundice.



someone should teach me how to flip these pictures! i cannot figure it out, but this is what she looked like. she tolerated the bed ok the first night, and then she decided she didn't like it. i didn't really like it either because i couldn't hold her or cuddle her unless she was nursing.

by wednesday she was doing much better, gaining weight and her levels were down.

our pink baby has gotten plenty of sleep!

Aw, little glow worm baby! Yeah, the babies at the hospital HATE being under phototherapy or in a biliblanket! Glad her levels came down so she could come out and cuddle! She's so cute!

I like what Melanie called her, "glow worm baby" :) Glad to hear she is thriving now. Great job, Momma! Love you all!
