I decided that we would breast feed instead of formula but with having flat nipples, we have been needing to supplement with tiny amounts of formula from time to time. It seems lately however that she is hooked to mom's breast all the time. It's good that she is eating awesome, but at the same time...Mom would like a break. My newborn milk is coming in now and it's getting much easier to fulfill the needs of this little girl's appetite (which is just like her father's). Her billirubin has been high since her birth. On Saturday it was at 9.8 at 6 am and increased to 10.2. Then on Sunday Tyler and I took her in to get it checked again at the request of the doctor's, only to find it was 14. 2. She was asked to come in again today to get it checked at the clinic and after Mom's first experience with baby blood draw, we found that it was 15.8. So once again we will be going in to the clinic in tomorrow to test it again.
With only being three days old, she has captured our hearts completely. I will leave you today with more pictures for you to enjoy and will keep you all updated, once I get away from a latched baby or the breast pump.
