Spending time with Mommy in the hospital, being so little is exhausting!
Willow has jaundice. She was exiled to the light therapy bed except for feeding time. She hates the little glasses that she has to wear to protect her eyes, and I feel terrible hearing her cries. It's torture for me, although nowhere near as bad as watching them prick her heels 3 times and squeeze the heck out of her feet to get enough blood to run their stupid tests... Ok, they are not stupid tests, but I find myself rather unhappy with them all the same. Poor baby, her blood type is not compatible with mine and that is why she got the jaundice. Luckily the second test came back lower and she's back to cuddling with Mommy.
Christina and Jeremiah went home today and they were sad to have to go. Willow got out of the light bed just in time to spend some quality time with her Aunt and Uncle before they had to head to the airport. They made it home safe and are happy to be there, even though they miss us.
If all goes well, Willow and I will be able to go home tomorrow. I am hoping that we get to because I cannot wait to get home and be able to relax without so many people constantly around. It's hard to relax in the hospital, but once we are home, Willow and I will be able to get into a routine that works for us, and that will be wonderful. I want my own bed and I want to have my baby in her own bed as well. Cross your fingers for us!
