We are trying to make sure that Jordan doesn't get jaundice because we really don't want her to have to leave and stay at the hospital. She was a little yellow but nothing they were concerned about but it was suggested that we strip her down to her diaper once a day and let her sit in direct sunlight. I think she was having a good time with this today! She seemed to be smiling a lot; I don't know if she knew that's what she was doing but regardless, it melted our hearts.
We had a follow-up appointment with her on Wednesday and she checked out just fine! When we left the hospital she was down to 6 pounds which is normal for babies to lose a little weight in the first couple days. They expect them to be back up to birth weight by their two week check up but at this appointment she had already gained weight and was 6lb 3oz just 2 ounces away from birth weight so she's doing wonderfully in that area. They were a little concerned about this because she was not nursing very well when we left the hospital, which was why we had the follow-up appointment in the first place because they wanted to check and make sure she was eating ok.

These pictures of her in her cool shades just cracks me up. They are not very big sunglasses but they look huge on her. Omigosh, how adorable she is! I sure missed not getting to see her today.
