billi baby

macey had her first weight check today. she was 5 lbs 13 oz when we left the hospital and was 6 lbs 2.5 oz today. so she's obviously a super nurser and getting enough food.

the doc was concerned about her jaundice so we had to take her to have her blood drawn at the hospital. her billirubin level was at 17.8, up from 8 when she was tested at the hospital. i think she's on the line of needing phototherapy so we've got to get her tested again tomorrow. so sadly, we'll take her back to get her heel pricked and mashed for blood tomorrow to see if her levels have decreased.

she's getting lots of extra feedings today so she can pee and poo out the extra billirubin. i'm sure she's feeling pretty bloated ....
