My First Bath

My mom gave me a bath today.  I really did not like it at all. I hope I don't have to do that again.

First doctor visit

I had my first doctor visit today. I already grew 1/2 inch in one week! I left the hospital weighing 8 pounds 3 ounces and today I weigh 8 pounds 6 ounces. Mom and the doctor both say that's good.

Home at Last

Going Home

I'm going home tonight. My bilirubin count was 12.6 this morning and all I had to to was keep it there or get ot lower and I could go home. I did it!

The nurses put a bow in my hair and took my picture just before I left. I guess they are going to miss me.

Still jaundiced

Today my bilirubin count is 15.1. It's lower but not low enough to go home. Maybe tomorrow or Thursday. Mom comes to feed me and she says I don't look as orangey-yellow as yesterday so she thinks the jaundice is going away. The nurses put me under these lights and they gave me these wacky glasses to wear when I got these treatments.

No more IV

Today I got my IV taken out. Now if I can just get my bilirubin count down, I can go home. Currently it is at 17.6, don't know what normal is, but I hope I get there soon.

I met my aunts today

This is my aunt Jen. She is my mom's sister.

This is my aunt Stephanie. She is my dad's sister.Already these two are making me the best dressed baby around. I think I am really going to like them.

Grandma

This is my grandma, it is so cool that there is more than one of them!

This is my dad

Met Grandma and Grandpa

Here are some of my grandparents. They came to visit my first day.

Hello World!

My name is Chloe. I was born at 5:26 pm. I am 3 hours old in these photos. I need to be attached to an IV until my blood sugar is normal. That's the effect from my mother's diabetes. It doesn't mean I will have diabetes though. My face is a little bruised and swollen because I had a hard time being born. My heart rate was way low and it scared everybody but I'm OK now.
