Simone-- 5 days old
Quick update on Simone.
(Everyone looks better in black and white when they have jaundice! =)
She is doing very well today. Her bilirubin count was at a 12, and she had to go under the lights for a day or so. It is now at 9.5, and they will take her out at 8:00 tonight. Then retest tomorrow, and see if the her number has gone back up.
Sunglasses!
Tiny sunbather?
She had a lot of trouble (because being so tired as a result of the jaundice) finishing her bottles. They had a tube down her nose, and had to use it several times to finish feedings. Lincoln is such a good dad, and is always able to make her finish her bottles. The tube was taken out of her nose last night! Hooray, she is doing so well. She can breath out her nose now too. =) I am determined to nurse her and hope that the transition isn't hard for her.
We are doing well at home. My Mom is here until Sunday. I am so thankful that she is here. I can't imagine how hard it would have been without her!! It is hard to be home without my baby though. It is so strange, and sometimes think I am still pregnant. I have been able to visit her a lot though, and it heavenly to hold her. She now weighs 2000 grams! (That is 4 lbs. 4 oz)

oooooo, my little sweety. She is SO SO SO pretty. I can't wait to hold her and snuggle her and kiss her pretty little head. You pictures are beautiful, I love the sunbather one. I also love that one that you stuck on the birth announcement. So pretty. Call me when you get a min, I think about you all the time :-)
She is so adorable. I love her little lips! Thanks for posting an update. I have been thinking about you all. I love the pictures!
Oh my goodness words can't express how sweet and beautiful she is. I love the pictures you have such an amazing way at taking photos. I am so happy to hear that she is doing good and you are too. Thank goodness for moms I am glad your mom has been around to help out. When she goes we are here to help out too. Keep us up to date with new pictures we love seeing your little piece of heaven. Thanks for sharing.
Oh, Jeri! she's beautiful! Give me a call if I can help in anyway!
Everyone says babies are beautiful, but sometimes I secretly think they look like aliens. That picture of Simone is gorgeous!! She looks like the most delicate, elfin little baby. I'm sure it's been hard not to hold her all the time. I can't wait to read that you have her home!
I love the pictures too - fanastic. I bet it is so hard to come home without your little sunshine. I am so happy she is doing well and I HOPE HOPE HOPE that she is with you soon :)
That bw pic of her is beautiful - she is so precious!! I am glad that she is doing well! You both are in my thoughts and prayers!
oh, I am so sorry. Easton was in the NICU for two days and I know that feeling. I am think of you. She is precious:)
Poor sweet little thing! Sounds like she's thriving, though :)
How precious! Can't wait to meet her! Natalia told me ALL about her on Friday-I especially loved the part about how you squeezed her out of your milk, and POP!, she was here! Too cute! Your kids are precious!
That first picture is just breathtaking. She looks so alert! I can't wait to meet her.
What a sweet angel. We can't wait to see you both again. Let us know when we can help.
I'm glad she is doing so well! She looks beautiful and I'm sure she will be all ready to come home soon! One of these days I shall come over to babysit while you and Licoln go to see her together. Good luck!
gorgeous! even with the accessories. :)
Oh Jeri, I wish I were here this week while your mom is gone to help with anything! I will be back soon and give you a call. I hope all is going well. She is so sweet!!
Tera had a bilirubin of 25!!! The doctor called me and said, "how fast can you get back to the hospital?" I cried and cried! It was very traumatic. We camped out under the lights for four days and nights.
We sure love you Jeri and are praying for you and your cute family!
