Crying Over Spilled Milk and other tales from the maternity ward

What day is it? Who is that cutie sucking on my boob (no it's not Snicks)

I am trying to keep a sense of humor as we are still in the hospital with Adelaide so please forgive me for the randomness of this post. She is Coombs positive which has led to jaundice. The jaundice has required that she be in the incubator under "bili-lights" for the past two days. They just drew more blood to see how things are going. The result will determine whether we are here another night or go home tomorrow (God-willing). I think it is scarier to me than anything. The jaundice will go away and she will be fine. It is just requiring a little patience.

So - here are my attempts at humor or just observation from the maternity ward:
- Crying over spilled milk to the point of being completely incoherent is rational at 3am after pumping your tired boobs to supplement feedings

- The "Boob tube" is not the tv but rather either the supplemental tubing or the breast pump tubing depending on the moment.

- We should have packed sunscreen because I am sure we are getting tans from sitting by Addie and the bili-lights

- God bless the creator of mesh panties

- I have developed a great Madonna impression with my simple wishes pumping bustier, nipple shields, and nipple shells.

- I love Catholic hospitals. Prayers over the p.a., mass times announced, and daily communion. Of course communion has come twice while I've been in the shower.

- Speaking of the shower... I was cleaning my lady parts with the handheld shower when Snicks walked into the bathroom. Apparently my expression was a bit too blissful when he asked me how I was doing. LOL

Well, that's all for now. My next task is trying to post a picture! I wish we had wi-fi.

I am thankful for the sunshine outside today.
