I love this picture. Ella was posing. Too bad I got the camera strap in the pic. Well, the Dr. said that she had gained 10oz. in 10 days and was back up to 7lbs 4oz. We have a healthy little girl!
Ella is one week old and we found out her billirubin levels had shot up to 16!! So the Dr. sent out a special phototherapy bed for her to lay in. She is only allowed out to eat and be changed. Poor baby...its a good thing she seems to like it.
Ella had a billirubin level of 7.8 when we left the hospital. When we visited the Dr. our main concerns were if she was gaining weight and if those levels had gone down.
Ella was 5 days old and we realized that there were a lot of things that she needed that we didn't have. So Nonnie came over to keep her while we ran out.
Our smart, sweet, compassionate and funny "big girl".
