Macy went to the doctor (aka our second home) yesterday to get her jaundice checked again. We are pleased that it went from 11.4 to 9.1, so it’s still slowly creeping down. Her doctor said that it could take 6 weeks for her yellow complexion to fade, but as long as it’s going down then there are no concerns. Macy’s also growing like a weed. She’d gained a pound in two weeks! She now weighs 8lbs 8oz (the size I expected the baby boy I thought I was going to have was supposed to be when he was born…I was SO wrong!)
We’re still trying to figure her out. So far she’s doing pretty well with sleeping at night and will give us 4 to 6 hour stretches, but the rest of the day is a constant guessing game. She has no patterns or schedule what so ever. Yesterday she only took short 15 minute naps between 2:30pm and 10:30pm so today she’s making up for it I guess and actually sleeping this afternoon. Hopefully once we get home from our beach/Mississippi trip I can spend July getting a schedule worked out.
I’ll post more pictures soon. It turns out that I have to resize the pictures, save them somewhere, and then put them in the gallery for it to work the way it should…ah, technology. So as soon as Doug has time to teach me how to do that I’ll get more pictures uploaded.
