Well - I pride myself on not being the type of parent that has her kids at the Dr everytime I suspect they may be coming down with something. But....I forgot what it is like to be the mom of a newborn. AHHHHH - there is so much to worry about with this little body that can't tell you whats going on. Anyway, mommy intuition told me that he was lookin mighty yellow again after being off the lights for several days - so we took him in to the Dr for a biliruben check and sure enough it was elevated above where we started the first time.
So back under the lights he goes until Thursday. The Dr ran some extra blood tests today to see if they could figure out what was elevating his biliruben at this late stage....but they all came back normal so apprently its just my breastmilk.
This whole last two weeks has been really a challenge for me emotionally. Between the whooping cough - the elevated bili counts - lack of sleep and Andrew issues it has been kinda crazy around here. But, in between my few crying spells I am remembering to repeat "I trust You, I trust You." And it helps that Eric is my rock - my reminder that God is in control. I have the most amazing husband ever. I love you Skills!
