asher update
i want to get outside and walk off some of this baby weight! but since asher is still hooked up to this bili-tether, i'm stuck inside. although it looks like we may actually have some sun come through the clouds today so we'll be able to get outside for some real uv treatment.
i'm feeling frumpy. my tummy is more jiggly than i thought it was going to be. of course both of my sister in laws were the girls who could fit into their pre-pregger pants the day they left the hospital...and, well, i'm not going to be like that...unfortunately. some of the hospital pics show my lovely double chin i grew with asher...so that doesn't help the self esteem. not that i'm complaining. i'd have gained 100 pounds as long as asher came out healthy and happy...but i do feel frumpy.
we spent 2 hours at sparrow lab today getting another blood sample from asher to check his bili levels...they're still at 16. i'm starting to get frustrated. tomorrow night will mark a week on this thing and he's only dropped 6 points. i really hope to get this cleared up soon. i'm kinda bummed.

shanna, thanks for the prayers. i've found that if i'm breast-feeding, he could almost care less. thank goodness for that good ol' relaxing hormone in breast milk!!! but yea, i hope he doesn't have to be poked anymore.
