Today is Thursday, so we've been home for 3 nights...my Mom has been here and been a HUGE help! Jules (as Tim and I have come to calling her) is doing just great. She eats every 1 to 3 hours, and when I say "eats", I mean "eats really well"! She is doing a great job nursing and sleeping and even trying to hold her head up. At night, we set the alarm for every 3 hours to feed her - it takes about an hour for her to eat. Tim has been awesome getting up with me for every single feeding.
She had a touch of jaundice (so did Wills), so we had to make 2 trips to the hospital and 1 to the pediatrician to get her blood drawn. The appointments were pretty noneventful and her jaundice level dropped from Tuesday to Wednesday, so that was great. Her weight on Tuesday was back up to 8 lbs, 3 oz, which means she's gaining! She dropped down to about 7 lbs 14 oz while we were still at the hospital.
Wills is totally LOVING his baby sister. He wants to hold her and kiss her and pet her and change her diaper, and of course, play with her. I am so proud of him.
Now, for the fun stuff...pictures!
