Here is our sweet darling
She loves sticking her tongue out
She passed out right after her first bath, and she deserved it. On top of the stress of delivery, she stayed awake with us and very playful for 3 hours immediately after delivery. That is what you get when you come 11 days late and she is not really a newborn (9 pounds)!
bilirubin :(
It is tough to bring your baby home and have to keep her in a suitcase for at least 24 hours, only holding her to feed her (especially hard for papa).
She is such a good sport about it though, and it has helped us to get a good schedule of eating and sleeping. It also gives me time to keep posting more pics :). One of the two of us needs to be awake and watching her at all times though. She has to wear these goggles and keep her head above the dangling blanket to protect her eyes, so we have to make sure she doesn't pull off the goggles, or choke herself in the blanket.
More pics of the cute girl and her late (all) night with daddy. You can see the glowing blanket that she keeps on her even when she is feeding and being held so that she is always being treated. The only time they don't want us to use it is when we are changing her diaper--guess they don't want her dirtyness on their equipment.
Congrats to you guys! Bill, you are a proud dad already!

ReplyDeleteThanks you two, I am pretty excited to be a dad, it is so much better then I ever dreamed. And Arycca is doing great, just tired :)

ReplyDeleteCongrats. She's a cutie. We're so happy for you guys!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! She is beautiful and reminds me of Arycca as a baby.
ReplyDeleteHooray you are parents! She is beautiful...I hope she can get off her bili-light soon! So happy she is finally here, congratulations!
ReplyDeleteThanks all! We think she's beautiful too, but we're both a little biased--it's always nice to hear confirmation :) Thanks Bec, I can only see Bill in her face, so I'm glad I'm in there too!
ReplyDeleteSo cute. I hope all is going well.
ReplyDeleteBill and Arycca!
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful start to your blog! So glad to see your cute little girl in living color! I hope that color isn't yellow for much longer! When did she develop the jaundice? I'm so sorry! It is surely not very fun making sure she stays under the lights and keeps the pads on her eyes. Hope you are able to sleep and stay awake on your shifts! Love, Mom
Congratulations! We are so happy for you! 9 lbs? How did you ever do it? I'm sure she is the most pampered and loved little girl ever. We can hardly wait to see her.
