Still in the hospital today. Jaz has a gotten a case of Jaundice, so we've got her on some light therapy for the day. The set up looks like a tanning bed that she's lying on, and also a light-generating vest over her chest... She's sleeping peacefully now that she finish up on her last feeding. Hopefully we get to go home tonight...
Here's some thoughts on Parenthood:
Sleep - Didn't realize how much we missed sleep until now, especially me, the early riser. Getting up every 3 hours or less, is a lot MORE tiring that it sounds. I see BIG mugs of coffee in my future when i go back to work next week! Its amazing that newborns can function on this 2-3 hour wake-eat-sleep cycle, mixed in with some poopies... but of course, right now her life isn't too complicated... ;)
Garbage generation- Surprising how a lttle person that small can generate that much poopies in so little time. Almost averaging a diaper change every 2 hours, we're proud that Jaz has outperformed the average diaper changes for her age.
Mute Button - We found the mute-button on Jaz today. If its not a full tummy of milk, its the second best thing... a pacifier. Trying to limit the use of the pacifier tho, don't want her to forget to nurse the natural way. But good to know that there's a alternative instant fix if we ever need it... Especially, when we need more of thought no.1 :)
Speaking of that, Jaz is finally out now. Better go catch more Zzzzs.

Just saw the pictures from St. Luke's. Jaz is so young but she already knew how to pose for pictures! She's such an adorable baby! Hope she'll recover from jaundice soon.
i remember when Ryan had to go in for jaundice. broke my heart cos i could not be with him. But... good news is that Jazlyn will be out soon! haha.. pacifiers do work! i think the hospital staff secretly give the pacifiers to babies when parents are not looking...:)

both my boys were jaundiced too... i know it's a common thing, but it still upset me when i had to let them poke and probe Liam every hour in the hospital, and his poor little foot on IV. But it'll all get better.
