Since last week's pediatric appointment, I've felt like a huge weight was lifted off me - and like I could finally relax a little bit more into this Mommy role. Thank goodness that our baby is actually gaining weight adequately!
Dr. Tang called on Friday morning to say that Casey's bilirubin level was at 9, so yes, she still had jaundice (most probably the "breastmilk jaundice" that I mentioned earlier), but that the level wasn't terrible. I guess that the liver enzymes hadn't been tested after all, so Dr. Tang asked us to call her today, one week following the appointment, to let her know if Casey still had yellow skin or eyes. We are happy to announce that as of this Monday and Tuesday, she doesn't! She finally had gotten rid of the reddish/yellowish/orangish baby "glow" and had come into her own peachy hue. It's too cute, and again, we're thrilled to see her advancing along.
We traveled to RI this past weekend (Casey's first trip!), and our friends and family members came out to meet the newest Boudreau. We had a great time (and were pleased that Casey slept for both of the to-and-fro car rides, as well as accepting her first two pumped bottles from Daddy excellently!), and here are some pictures.
