Dr. Visits

Today marked Kaylee's third outing since coming home last Thursday night. We made it to out pediatrician visit on Friday and we've had blood drawn twice. Our little princess is a little yellow. Doctors are monitoring her bilirubin levels, which tend to be high in preterm babies. So far, so good. Levels were a little high on Saturday, prompting a retest today. In our eyes she seems to be a little less "yellow" but we'll find out for sure tomorrow.

Let's hope for no more blood being drawn, her little heels have enough pricks in them as is. And honestly, if we get the same nurse as we did today, dad may just get a little riled up. Oddly enough, the gentleman who drew blood on Saturday did so gently and with ease. Despite Kaylee crying and watching her in distress, it wasn't an awful experience. Today was not the same. This nurse seemed to be on a mission to get the blood drawn as quickly as possible -- and was a little rough during the process. Kudos to dad for keeping his cool.
