Laney saw the doctor yesterday for her first well-visit. She weighed in at 5.10 and got a good report for the most part. Only negative was that her bilirubin was high. So the home health nurses brought out a phototherapy machine yesterday afternoon. Her blood results already came back today and her levels are much closer to normal. 24 more hours of the blue light and she'll be free to sleep in her bed again.
Our little lightning bug...

Oh my! So small!!! Good that you got the William Rubin (as Adam calls it) back down (or up, I can't remember!)...I'm heading for a second weight check tomorrow and the 2 week next week. Time is flying by!
It really flies by. I was looking at the picture of you holding Kate with the Eilands and she looks so big compared to Laney. It's crazy 3 lbs separates the 2 of them and they were born 2 days apart!
It's weird because I know it is a piece of medical equipment, but that little billi light is adorable.
Does she sleep really well in there? Carrie slept so well under her light in her little isolette.

She was in this for a little less than 48 hours and it was the best sleep she's had so far. The buzz of the machine had to have lulled her to sleep. She did great!
Yeah, 3 lbs and 2 days. But, remember, little Kate "baked" for a good 3 weeks longer than Laney :-) And yes, she looks a good 3 mos old! Ha! We'll know weight details tomorrow...I'll keep you updated. My guess...9+ lbs!!! Oh, and I've got some "new baby" Pampers diapers...not sure if you'd want to do some swapping for some size 1s...I opened the pack of 60 (?) and they are TOO small. Whoops! Let me know if you're interested!
