She's a cutie!

...as you can see for yourself. She has 10 tiny fingers, 10 long little toes, and a good set of lungs. I did hold her for a bit, she opened her eyes and took a good look at me. She gave me a big yawn and tried to tell me a story. She has a perfect little round head. She's a beautiful little girl. She is jaundice though and on the lights. They're supplementing with formula now to help flush it out. Two of the others were jaundice, and Jacob was a very little too.

She looks almost just like Jacob did but smaller.

Speaking of Jacob...he looked at me a little funny while I held Nevaeh. He pet her head and said "Nice...". Then was off to run the halls with his 1st Daddy. He didn't much want anything to do with a baby. We tried to get him to sit and hold her but, he refused.

Amber is just fine. They had a few small issues with bleeding but they have resolved themselves. They both should be going home today depending on the jaundice level. They were going to let them go last night but got the results of Nevaeh's lab work and found the jaundice level to be too high.

We did have an odd moment - I (yes, me), was speechless. Jacob, Rob, and I were in the hall, and Jacob pointed to Rob and said, "Da!". I was a little shocked. Poor Rob..."I didn't tell him anything!". I didn't correct Jacob. He's right - that's his father. I've been curious as to what Jacob is going to call them. I mean, Nevaeh is his little sister, that's what we call her but, as for his 1st parents, I'm at a loss. I think it's best for Jacob to do what he's comfortable with when he's ready. I did tell Jeremy what happened and he's okay with it. Jacob knows who his Daddy is, he's learning who his father is. We have a lot of talking and a lot of explaining to do in our future, it's not going to be easy. Thankfully, Jacob has four parents to explain it to him. I hope we all do it right...
