Waiting Game

A short video of Campbell being adorable. :)

Campbell's bilirubin was down .1 to 14.6 yesterday, so we're hoping the jaundice will clear up on its own. We went in today for her one week check up (one day early b/c the doc will be out of town starting tomorrow) and the pedi wants us to take her back in tomorrow for another screening so we can see if the number is continuing to come down. The next concern is her weight - it seems to me like she's on the normal scale - 7 lbs. 15 oz. at birth; 7 lbs 7.5 oz at discharge; 7 lbs 6.5 oz on Monday; 7 lbs 6 oz today. The doc wants to make sure she's not going to continue losing weight, though, so we're going back in on Friday just for a weigh-in. We're still not having much luck keeping formula in her, and keeping her awake to feed is a constant struggle - we've used a cold wet washcloth, thumped her heel, wiggled her head... she's just a sleepy little baby! We're waking her every 2-3 hours, or I swear she'd never wake up to eat.

G's oral surgery is tomorrow, so here's praying for a speedy recovery for him, so Campbell doesn't have to depend solely on her mommy for more than a day!
