A little something to brighten up a rainy July afternoon. It’s nice to look at pink after battling the yellow of jaundice for several days now. We’re pretty much feeding around the clock to get this stuff flushed out, and hanging out on some cool blue light therapy when we’re not eating, so pink is a refreshing change of color and scenery.
As you might imagine, there’s little time for anything else. Jaundice makes a baby sleepy and a sleepy baby is hard to feed, and feeding helps the biliruben levels to go down, so we’re a twenty-four hour side show around here in an effort to rouse a sleepy baby and convince her to do a little more work than just cuddling mom. Yes, it is very possible to be insanely sleep deprived by a little eight pound cuddlepuppy who does nothing but sleep. Thank goodness she’s so darn cute when she is asleep…
I have a post started with more information on her but I can’t seem to get very far with it. We don’t type in names on this blog so I’m waiting to get the announcements out the door and I’ll scan one and post it with all her stats. They are ready – just trying to find a moment to photograph a baby when she’s not attached to me or to a bili blanket.
