5 days old

Smiling already! Ok, ok... I'm sure it's actually just gas, but I'd like to think that Kira is smiling just thinking about going to the doctor's and finding out that the jaundice is gone and her weight is increasing again. Yay!

Little Kirabug

At Kira's first appointment with the pediatrician, we discovered that she lost a few pounds and has jaundice. To help her gain weight, we will be supplementing with a few mL of formula.

The solution for the jaundice is to go home and have Kira rest on the "bili-blanket," which makes her glow like a little lightning bug. It does not seem very pleasant to lay on, but she is a good sport and it seems to be helping.

Luckily, with the help of my mom and the boppy pillow, Kira is more comfortable.

Chillin with her feet up.

Beautiful big eyes.
