Jaundice Hospital Stay

Nate and I conversation on the way to Mollie’s first check up:

“I don’t know why all women say they go crazy crying after having a baby.  I haven’t felt that break down feeling yet.”

“I know babe, I think you’ve been great”

Go to doctor appointment, where we find out that Mollie is jaundice and we will be going back into a different hospital to get it taken care of quickly.

“Can you call my mom and tell her”  (because I’m crying hysterically)

You were feeling fine, just a little jaudice that needed to be taken care of.  You stayed under the light for two whole days.  It was hard not to hold you.  While you were sleeping away, I was working hard to get my milk in for you.

 

After another two days, you were looking good and we got to take you home for good.  It was a long first week for us, but you handled everything like a champ!

Your dad was also jaundice when he was born, so I guess this should have been our first clue that you would be just like him ;)
