1 week old

Dear Jaundice,

Please go away. You were not invited nor are you welcome. You may tempt my daughter with these cute little ski goggles that never stay in place. She gets to wear little mittens, socks and a beanie, which may be in fashion, but she is too young to be concerned with such things.



You make Cecily's skin yellow, her body tired and her sleeping schedule screwed up, all thanks to you! You may tempt her with this cute little suitcase tanning bed. Her hard little bed that she is forced to sleep in is most uncomfortable. She cannot be swaddled to better satisfy her need to get restful sleep.



We want to be able to hold our daughter again. And I don't like waking up at 8am every single morning to drive to the hospital to get her little foot poked and squeezed of many drops of blood to be tested for billirubin levels.

So, please go away soon, we want our Cecily back!

Thank you,

A concerned and sleep deprived mother

  1. Oh Hannah! I know what you are going through! It's such a pain, right? Liam had the same problem. He had the blanket instead, which I think did nothing because he just got worse and had to be hospitalized and almost had a blood transfusion. I will pray for your little baby and for you. Hopefully she is eating well and keeping her food down so that she can get rid of this. Good luck. Potty at much as you can Cecily!!

  2. Jaundice stinks. I'm so sorry! I HATED that I couldn't hold Daniel for the first week and he was glowing orange.
    Just remind yourself how lucky we are to live in this day and age when jaundice won't leave any lasting effects, and we don't have to leave the baby at the hospital for the first two weeks.

  4. Oh poor sweet baby and mama! Hope her levels are normal very very soon. That would be hard not to snuggle her!

  5. Oh, poor little cutie! She shouldn't have to deal with such hassle. I went through it with one of mine. I hope it is over now or at least soon. She really is so cute!!! Congratulations!

  6. Sorry you have to deal with that trial! About names, We are thinking Mckinley. And about the shower, Kristen and I were just talking about it earlier today. Either end of March or beginning of April. We're going to send out E-invites so you'll see something in your email. But probably not for about another month! I have a friend shower this Saturday and I'm so excited.

  9. what a bother, poor little one. I HATED leaving my baby under those awful lights. He seems so small and helpless, and there was nothing I could do to comfort him. She looks super cute though, especially in that last picture you posted. I hope it clears up soon.

  10. Amen! Sheesh! How are babies supposed to get better fast when their nuturing mommies can't hold them? I hate jaundice.
