Day 3 with Polly/Go home day!

Little Miss Polly dropped down to 6.1 pounds and almost didn't get to break out of the hospital.  She also had a jump in her billirubin so we had to complete two triple feeds in 2 hours (breastfeed, pumped colostrom by syringe and then offer formula) to make sure she was getting enough (since my milk hadn't come in). We needed to make sure that she stopped losing weight before we were allowed to take her home.  Thankfully, she jumped up to 6.2 pounds and her billirubin came back at 10, so we got discharged Sunday evening. We were so excited to get her home to her sisters.
My tiniest baby at 6 pounds. 
Look at all of her dark hair! Her eyebrows are light so it will be interesting to see
what her hair ends up being. 
Chris gave her 25 ml of formula on the first triple feed.
On the second triple feed she didn't take any.


Ready to go home,
Newborn clothes are too big on her! She also needs preemie diapers. 


First time in the carseat.
