Sleepy girl

Thanks so much for all the congrats and sweet words for our new baby girl, Juliet. The first few days at home have been spent with a very sleepy baby, lots of cuddling as well as:
  • Dealing with a bit of jaundice and photolight therapy to treat it.  It's a little stressful but she is doing better now thank goodness.
  • Daily dr. visits to track the jaundice and weight gain.
  • Constant feedings.
  • Plenty of skin-to-skin snuggling.  One of the best things in the entire world, hands-down.
  • Visits from friends and family (thanks you guys!)
  •  Lots of photos of her sweet "newborn-ness".  Erik has gotten annoyed with me and my camera just a few times.
It sounds like you are all interested in hearing her birth story and I definitely will be posting it soon but need to find the time to sit down and write it!

  3. Aww I'm so happy to hear things are going great! I had a baby girl this past September and she too had high bilirubin levels eventually had to wear the bili blanket, making nursing even more challenging but was a trooper! So I totally relate w what you're going through. Don't worry, it will get easier soon and get all those newborn snuggles you can :) I already miss them! Can't wait to hear the birth story!

  4. Can't wait to read your birth story. As a fairly new mama (maybe not so new anymore, but still) I am semi-obsessed with them. Before baby, no way! Now, definitely! She looks perfect. I'm so glad to hear you are enjoying everything.
