After Lindsey was born on Monday, she and Nicole stayed in the hospital until Thursday afternoon. Dad got to juggle work, hospital visits, and taking care of Aiden...definitely gaining a better appreciation for Mommy!
Immediately after Lindsey was born, Lindsey's blood sugar was lower than normal, but after a couple hours of monitoring, she was fine. We think that Nicole's low blood sugar prior to the C-Section caused the same in Lindsey. The pediatrician noticed Lindsey was showing signs of jaundice, a common condition in premature babies which occurs when the liver can't remove bilirubin from the blood adequately. Consequently, we've been visiting the hospital to test her levels each morning to make sure it is improving. Other than dealing with jaundice and the fun (or lack thereof) of Nicole getting through the healing process, we are doing great!
Now that we are all home, the next adventure is getting into a new routine. Aiden is always wanting to be wherever his sister is, and loves her very much!
She is beautiful!
