we've peaked!

Today's bilirubin was 17.3, so we're going down and don't need to do anything more. Yay. The exact same security guard, check-in dude, and lab nurse were in the hospital this morning, so it was a rather friendly excursion.

No we need to work on getting focus while nursing - I'm afraid the supplementing made him like the ease, ad now he comes unlacthed a lot and plays around. We had to really work with him during the night. Also, I am SO TIRED.

nmoments with Casper

Running down the hall pulling the hospital-issue sitz bath (as yet unused) by the tubing, with toy animals riding in it like a sled.

In her bed in the dark; she is banging her foot against the wall.
Casper: Can I hit the Dillo?
me: No. I would hurt him.
Casper: He would cry.
me; That's right. We don't hit anybody, but especially not babies because they are so little.
Casper: Can I hit the wall?
me: Well, it wouldn't hurt the wall, but it might hurt you. Walls are hard.

Yesterday morning, I am nursing Dillo in the big pink chair and Casper climbs up so she is lying parallel to him and behind him, with her head on the arm. It's nice to hold both my babies - the tiny one and the HUGE one.

She's wanted a lot of attention from me that I don't always have to give. It's good to have Grandma Debbie here - this morning they polished the silver and went off the the Gardens ("before it got hot" which was 10:30, and already beastly in my view...)

I should go nap, but Dillo is awake and making faces and people keep calling on the phone.
