day 5

Having two kiddos certainly changes things. We've had such a busy week, but really done nothing. It has been awesome having my Mom here. She has been so good with Claire and helping us with whatever needs to be done. If only she could be here full-time, we'd be set. Mya had a doctor appointment on Thursday, so I gave her a sponge bath while Chris bathed Claire. Mya was not a fan. She screamed and screamed. Her doctor appointment went well. She has gained 2.5 ounces since leaving the hospital, weighing 8 lbs. 4 oz. We had to have her blood drawn to check her billirubin levels since they were 9.9 when we left the hospital. This kiddo is one tough cookie at only 5 days old. She didn't cry or even move during the blood drawing. Pretty impressive. The results were okay. Her levels are still elevated, but not enough to do anything other than feed and sunbathe her as often as possible.
