At His First Week Of Living

Aesop's first week of life was turning into rehearsals for us getting out of the house in any timely manner, now the parents of two children. The first try was a dreadful failure. It's been getting better, mostly thanks to another jaundice baby and his poor little punctured feet. All is well tho. Yellow no more. But we're still waiting for the day we get to sleep in.

Yuula likes the doctor much more when she's the patient

Sleeping like a pro

Judee just wants a taste

Who's This Billy Rubin?

First off, yes, I know bilirubin is not a person but in fact is the yellowish stuff that breaks down red blood cells, an elevated level of which is called jaundice. Yuula had jaundice, but apparently that's normal for a newborn baby. Easy fix is to stick the baby in the sun and the bilirubin will work its way out of her system. Only problem: it rained everyday after she was born. Homestar & our insurance company put their heads together and sent us a warbly blanket that we had to wrap around her like a baby WWF heavyweight belt and it emits light in stead of natural sunlight. My parents called her the Glowworm.

All is well. Jaundice is gone, bilirubin down. Crisis #2 averted.
