While we were in the hospital, Emma had some trouble with her blood sugar levels. Small babies can have trouble regulating blood sugar and Emma had some trouble so she had to get her blood checked before and after most of her feedings. Her blood sugar started to stay more stable after the first day so we were able to take her home on Monday (she was born on Saturday). Here we are getting her dressed to go home. She is so excited to go home!
We had trouble putting her in the car seat at first because she was so little. We couldn't get the straps to tighten down enough. She looks like she isn't too happy to be in there.
We had to take her out again to readjust the straps.
She liked that.
But then we got it figured out and back in she went
Not happy!
Time to head home
Some of our friends decorated our door to welcome Emma
And Anna (who is excited beyond words to have a new little sister) made some signs
This one says:
You are a wise owl little Emma
To Emma, From Anna
(she spelled Emma E M U because U says uh...it makes sense)
This one says:
Welcome to the world little Emma. You are a flower.
Her signs were so sweet.
And here is a bonus photo. We were home Monday night but had to go back Tuesday morning for a jaundice test. Emma's jaundice levels were too high on her test so she had to stay in the hospital for treatment. Scott and I stayed with her in one of the recovery rooms they had available. She laid under lights in the baby nursery most of the time and they brought her to us every three hours for a feed. We were there for over 24 hours. But her levels went down and stayed low and we were able to take her home again on Wednesday.
