Our First Days at Home

Things have been really hectic around here! I have been having a LOT of trouble with the Internet, or the computer, or both I suppose. It is moving at a pace slower than a snail the past few days and I have no idea why. I have run scans to check for viruses that could be slowing things down, but there are none. I have also done cleaning on the computer, hoping to speed it up, but have had no luck. I run into the most problems when trying to upload photos. It just seems to freeze up and never actually finalize the upload and it is frustrating, especially for a new mom!
Amelia has newborn jaundice, as most do, but hers got higher than they expected. We have been going in for bloodwork every day since we left the hospital and her bilirubin levels (a cause of jaundice) are going down now, yay! We needed to start home phototherapy but the doctor called 3 distributors to find a kit, but was unable to find one. Instead, we have to put her in sunny windows in just her diaper so that she could soak up UV rays from the sun. Here are some pictures of her in the sun:



Today Dad will be home with us all night instead of working and we are going to give Amelia her first bath...with the help of Grandma Fronczek since we have never done this before!
