Hi Ladies...only got a quick minute...this is my first time online since we got home Tuesday night. Jenna is still Jaundice, her billi number is 16.9...but it is stable there for 2 days now. It was as high as 18.5. That is when the PED put her under the lights and made us start supplementing her with formula. It came down after being under the lights with her stylish sunglasses. I was so sad to have to supplement and she started getting nipple confusion. Now we are using a special nipple to help with that and are giving a bottle every 3rd feeding for the entire feeding opposed to topping her off every feeding. She is right back to doing well with her latch. I pump when she gets that bottle. She is also down 13% from her birth weight. We keep going in for billi blood work and weight checks. She has a break over the weekend b/c her number stabilized. Monday she has a weight check. I'm hoping if she is gaining, I can stop supplementing with formula.

She is the most precious baby...I can't believe she is ours and she is here

I'm doing well. Still taking the occasional percocet for pain. DH is so great...he is taking care of me, Jenna, house, errands, phones and all updates. When we got home Tuesday night he had decorated the entire house with welcome home baby Jenna. He adores her so much! He is even helping me with BF. Here is a link to the birth announcement page he created

I'll try and get back on to read your threads soon...I hope everyone is well. I'm thinking of you all! Thanks for all the well wishes and section prayers!
