Life with 2 kids...

What a change it is to go from having one child to having two!! We've been very busy, but we are loving every minute of it!!

Reese has had a pretty hard week in our opinion. She had a high bilirubin count when we checked out of the hospital which meant that she was jaundice. The hospital didn't give us any special instructions for her because her numbers weren't high enough to need any extra treatment, however, we did have to take her into the clinic 3 days this week to get her heel poked to check her bilirubin count. Thankfully by Wednesday her numbers were good enough that she didn't have to go back. Then we got a phone call from the clinic yesterday saying that a blood test she was supposed to have before leaving the hospital didn't turn out and she needed to go in to re-do it. Well, they needed to collect a lot more blood from her foot than for the bilirubin test and they ended up having to poke her heel twice because she stopped bleeding before they were done getting all the blood they needed. The poor little thing has needle pokes all over both of her heels. I said that if MeritCare calls me one more time I'm going to tell them they have the wrong number!!

Sophie has been adjusting really well to Reese. She LOVES her little sister so much and loves to give her hugs and kisses. She really likes it when we let her hold Reese. She is also very protective of her sister. I took Sophie to daycare one day this week and I brought Reese inside with us. All the little kids wanted to look at Reese and Sophie just started screaming and trying to get the kids away from her. She did not want ANYBODY looking at Reese.
