jaundice update

although i was optimistic this morning when the at home nurse came to check on asher and thought he couldn't be more than 18, when we got our results back he was actually 20.9. yesterday his bilirubin was 20.6. so he actually went back up a bit. the doctor wants to see him tomorrow morning, so we'll see what she says. i'm pretty bummed. he was looking so good and he's still eating and pooping like a champ...i just don't know why it's going up. i want to be able to take him outside but he's attached to this silly bili-blanket contraption with a 3 foot cord. i want him to get better. please pray for him. i'll give y'all an update after our doctors appointment tomorrow.

other than that, i'm trying to adjust to momma time...it's hard to get all together with a little one! and really, i just spend my days staring at this wonderful child of mine.

i believe if you take him outside in the sun it's similar to the blanket thing. barend was pretty yellow even in his eyes. i was worried about it too, though. try not to worry about it....i'll be praying for you both!! love ya!
