Battle of the Bilirubin - Day 2

Another relaxing day on Morning Sun Street...We kept the bilirubin "blanket" (blanket is in quotes because it's hardly a blanket) on Gianna throughout the night and day in preparations for our Pediatrician visit. She was a little glow worm all through the night. The Pediatrician said that her bilirubin levels did drop, but he wanted them to drop a little further. So we continue to help her little body break down those extra red blood cells with the photo therapy light bilirubin blanket. Thankfully she continues to be very tolerant of it. Here's a cute picture showing all her hair from the back.





Here's a cute picture of Gianna in her "go to" position from her last few months in the womb. Notice how her little legs/feet fit together. Michelle can attest that she also liked to stretch her legs out (into her bladder, rib cage, spinal nerves, etc.). Thanks to Michelle's hard work, pain, and persistence - and Gianna being a good eater - Gianna has already returned to her birth weight (in less than a week!:). Grandma Greco made a delicious zucchini casserole to celebrate!
