Eventful first week

Well we are thrilled to have our little beaner finally in our arms. This first week has been a whirlwind of sorts and we've definitely had our hands full. We are however, loving every minute! Reese has been to the hospital almost every day last week for blood tests to check her bilirubin levels. The doctor was concerned with how yellow she was so ordered further testing. After 3 days of tests, she was admitted for phototherapy treatment on Wednesday. Reese and I parked it in the neonatal ward for a full 24 hours so she could sit under the lights and hopefully help flush the bilirubin out. Daddy joined us after his game (in which he scored a goal for Reesey bug). After a day and night of treatment, her levels were slightly lower so we were able to come home. We are heading back tomorrow morning for another blood test to make sure her levels are continuing to go down...fingers crossed! She has been an absolute dream baby since the treatment. Eating so much better and sleeping great. She has put herself on a routine of sorts, eating every 2-3 hours with a brief wakeful period, followed by sleep, sleep, sleep! We are most certainly adjusting to less sleep and all the other joys of parenthood but embracing every moment. Here are a few new pictures of the first week. Will keep them coming and hoping to get a video up soon. Thanks everyone for all the well wishes, we can't wait for you all to meet Reese (she can't wait either!). We finally have our internet hooked up so our skype is now up and running. Hopefully we'll be able to grab a few spare minutes to return calls and emails soon. Sending lots of love from the three of us!
