Update on Emily

I forgot to comment on a few things yesterday, so I thought I'd update everyone.

Emily's bilirubin count was a little high when she was born (causing jaundice), so they had her under some special lights to lower her count. Because it didn't go down, they sent her home with a special blanket that glows blue lights -- kind of makes her look like a glow-worm! Her count is barely above normal so there doesn't seem to be anything to worry about. We're supposed to go to her doctor's office this week to have her count re-checked and will then go from there.

Here is a picture of the flowers sent to us -- thank you to all of you who called or sent flowers and cards. They really meant a lot!

As some of you know, we were kind of worried about Nora and how she would react to Emily when we brought her home. And thanks to God, Nora has been awesome the last few days! She has been really calm and gentle around Emily and really sweet! When we feed or change her at night, Nora comes in to watch and then goes back to the nursery to sleep on the loveseat. She hasn't been demanding any additional attention or lovin' and has been really cooperative. Yeah!!! :)

We went for our first walk today and had a great time. Emily seemed to enjoy being outside and it was nice for us to leave the house for a while! :)

Well, that's about it for now. Until next time . . .
