Le bebe

Here she is!
Born at 1:18 am on Sept 22 - Amelia Jean.

There are so many stories I want to write on this blog and I hope to get around to them all eventually.

Funniest story from the week:
I have an overactive letdown, so I have to be careful about keeping her stomach lower than her head (otherwise, she throws up).  I was burping her over my shoulder and she spit up in my hair, down my shoulder, and onto the couch.  I moved her onto her back so I could clean us up and her head fell to the side and she threw up exorcist-style.  My reflex was to stick my foot out to catch (?) it and it splashed all down my jeans, in between my toes, and all over the carpet.  She had the proudest look on her face and I could not stop laughing.  Definitely a "oh wow I'm a mom" moment.

Here is a list of topics I hope to cover:
Chris' journey here

Staying in the hospital for 5 days

Jaundice - Bili checks, under the lights
