At least I'm cute in yellow

Abby continues to do great. She has semi-high bilirubin levels, which means that she is a bit jaundiced. We have to watch her appetite, and she gets to lay out in the sun twice a day to help. Grandpa Larry comes over after work to hold her in the window for the afternoon sun. Our high mark was 17, but we have fallen to 16. Everyday, we have to go to the lab and have blood drawn. We're afraid that she thinks this is what life is going to be like. Other than that, she is wonderful. The pediatrician says she is healthy and in the 50 percentile. This sounds like a good thing, but we are not really sure what it means yet. He was pleased, though. At her last doctor's appointment, she was at 7 lbs and 12 oz. We are sure she will be back to birth weight soon!
We will keep you posted on the jaundice.

Abby already loves to lay in the sun.
