Today was Day 4 to the doctor. Yesterday we went and her bili levels had stayed the same but she had put on about 1 oz so the doctor was pretty happy and allowed us to stop the lights. We were very grateful for that. Today's visit was even better. Her bili level went down half a point and she gained another 1-2 oz. With that progress we now can stop going to the doctor every day and don't have to go back until next Wednesday. Hooray. Poor Abby's heels are starting to look pretty bad from 4 days of having blood drawn. Now maybe we can start working on getting in to a routine.
On another strange child note it seems that we somehow forgot to mention that Abby was born with a tooth. Yep, you read that right. The pedi at the hospital thought that it may just be a tooth bud but our doctor has confirmed that it is indeed a tooth. Our doctor called a dentist who said that as long as it isn't bothering Abby or mom that it can stay there. We're pretty happy about that as we couldn't really imagine what it was going to be like to have a tooth removed for her. This is the best shot that we have been able to get:

Born with a tooth, huh? See, she's a "sooner" kid already! :)

glad her levels are going down!...i can def see the similarities btwn the little misses, but abigail's face is more of a heartshape and reagan's is more round (and with pinchable cheeks!)
