We were discharged from the hospital yesterday around 4pm and were told to come back this morning for a Bilirubin test to check her levels (related to Jaundice). We got back home and received a phone call from the pediatrician saying her levels were higher than when they were checked yesterday; therefore we have to alternate between formula and breast milk. Also, we need to keep her in direct sunlight for 15-20 minutes 3 times a day. We go back tomorrow to have her levels checked again. Wednesday we will be back at the doctor to have a followup appointment after being released from the hospital.
So far, it has been very busy and difficult to get in a routine and settled, but hopefully that will happen very soon. I am so glad Bo was able to take off this week and stay home with Emma and I while we recuperate and learn/establish a routine and Emma's patterns!!!! I look forward to every minute we are able to spend together bonding with our daughter and each other. She is the sweetest thing and I don't know how I could live without her.
