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!
