Almost 48 Hours Old

Just a quick post to update on Bailey. We are going home from the hospital tonight. She is doing very well and is very healthy… a little trouble breastfeeding but we are working hard and we have a plan, thanks to the wonderful lactation consultants at the hospital.

She is right about 7 pounds now… also she had a little bruising on her head so they have been checking her billirubin levels to watch for jaundice- apparently her body will make more red blood cells to fight the bruise so they have to make sure they get processed correctly. We have a pediatrician appt on Friday and we love our pediatrician, so we are really happy with that whole situation.

I am feeling very good and in fact today I wore “real clothes” and put on some makeup. I am not in any pain at all- I have a few stitches but I don’t even notice them and I’m just trying to take it easy.

I am excited about being home with our baby- and of course we would love for people to come see her maybe within the next few days or so. We’ll have our cell phones off when we are sleeping so don’t worry about bothering us- but please let us tell you when it would be a good time for company

More pictures from Monday and Tuesday- don’t have the newest ones uploaded yet-
and in no particular order because apparently my brain isn’t that organized right now!
