We got up this morning all ready to go, Ski started packing things up and organizing and I started worrying. The doctor came in and checked me out, wrote me some prescriptions for pain killers (thank God) and we fed the little sweetie. The pediatrician came in about an hour later and while the baby and I are getting better and better at nursing, she is showing some preliminary signs of jaundice. So they want to keep her (and by extension us) another day. I think Ski was ready to get the heck out of here but I feel sort of relieved that I have another day to rest up and prepare myself for going home.
Renee is the sweetest little thing. I don't know if it's just because she's a preemie but all of the nurses gush over her every time the see her. My nurse came in last night and I was talking about and her she said, "Oh, you're Renee's mom...we all just love her. She's so cute." Maybe they say that to everyone but I feel better about my obsession as I could just sit and stare at her all day long. I don't even dread getting up in the middle of the night to feed her (yet) because I can't wait to see what she looks like and if she's changed since the last time I saw her. This mom thing is going to be quite a ride...
Pictures are coming, I promise...
