Kate Update

Today Kate is one week old! She has been an awesome little girl so far. We are truly blessed. We had our first pediatrician's appointment Monday and the pediatrician noticed Kate's coloring becoming a little yellow and she has a little jaundice. Not a huge deal and something a lot of newborns get and luckily easy to treat. She has what is called a billy blanket that we wrap her in and plug into the wall. It is a ultra violet light that helps her break down the toxins in her system quicker than her body was previously doing. It is a little cumbersome not being able to take her 4 feet from the outlet 24 hours a day, and it makes a little harder to get into a nice rythym, but we are working through it. She is so good even with the annoying blanket! Thank God my Mom is here to help us too! It has been a little bit like playing catch up the past few days as we added so many extra unexpected steps. We made huge progress last night, though, and finally feel like we have our feet under us. The good news is Kate is being monitored and getting much better. Your prayers would be helpful though too!
