Today was another rainy day to start. Gianna slept for two 4 hour stretches last night and continued to feed, sleep, void & stool well. We are probably jinxing ourselves, but we are obviously delighted.
We had lunch delivered from one of our favorite restaurants - Armadillo Grill - by John's co-workers Ellen and Brandon - that was delicious and so generous & thoughtful of them. Our friend Elizabeth and her daughter Caroline also brought us some delicious homemade cobbler! We had a Pediatrician appointment this afternoon. Gianna gained 2 ounces since yesterday! She's back up to 6lbs, 5 oz and is nearly back to her birth weight after less than 5 days!
Unfortunately, Gianna's bilirubin levels have continued to increase slightly, so we had to bring home a bilirubin blanket to help her decrease her levels. It's really an interesting process - the fluorescent light frequency creates a chemical reaction in the bilirubin and helps transform bilirubin into a form the body can more quickly eliminate via urine. 
She looks like a little firefly! ;)
Gianna's demeanor continues to be delightful and it's hard to imagine our lives without her in it!
Love the Brunners Three
