Jun. 15th, 2009 03:57 pmI went to visit my sister and the baby today. When I got there, they'd just wheeled Natalie out of the premie ward to be with Chrissy in her room which was a very, very good indication that everything was going well. Natalie was awake, so I picked her up to rock her to sleep while Chrissy rested. That went south--Natalie must have thought I was Momma and was very happy at first, then realized Auntie wasn't going to feed her. Then she got fussy and Momma came over to feed her.
Natalie ate pretty well. While she was being burped, another nurse came in to check her for Jaundis, for which they determined Natalie was borderline. Not good. They're going to do blood work to see if she has it. If she does, she'll be put under lights and they might be staying another day, possibly two : (
Raphie's sister might be coming tomorrow, which is good. I plan to bring Chrissy some salmon, potatoes and watermelon since hospital food sucks and the nurse said that the better Chrissy eats, the more milk for the baby. I've got my fingers crossed that everything goes well. Baby Natalie is the sweetest little one ever. We're all rooting for her to be heathy and go home safe and sound. For now, she's in good hands.
