So here I am figuring I need to write an entry but I dont know what exactly to write about. I am eating ice cream while its sprinkling outside and probably about 60 degrees in our house…. (heater doesnt work…) am now i got the chills. Oh well, it was good ice cream. lol
So baby chloe is kinda sick. She is having problems with jaundice, and my poor sister is getting frustrated and run down. Part of the jaundice I guess is from a hormone called biliprubin (dont know if i spelled it right) and this hormone is found in breastmilk. The doctors in korea are telling my sister to keep breast feeding her because its good for her even though she is getting this hormone thats contributing to the jaundice. my sister is getting worried and thinking of just starting to formula feed her because of it. my mom says this happened when my sis was little and they told her to stop breastfeeding and it would get better. so everyone is worried. She went to the doctors today and nobody has heard anything yet.
I got a bicycle today. A 7 speed beach cruiser. But not before a huuuuge hassle. I put the bike on layaway online on kmart. Selected a store that said it was in stock. Four hours later they cancelled my layaway! saying it wasnt in stock! Then I called the store cause I was pretty pissed off. ..and lo and behold, they have one! the lady tells me the store has nothing to do with online layaway and she has no idea why they cancelled it. She advises me that since the bike is on sale i should just come to the store and get it. One problem- I didnt have the full amount…thats why I put it on layaway……So i told her thanks, but no thanks and that id just save up and buy it full price. I told my man about it and he saved the day and got it for me! 🙂 I love that guy 🙂
She will get past this jaudice stage, Sarah! My son had it on his third day of life – we stayed in the hospital a couple of days longer and it cleared up. It’s a liver condition. I must say though, with all of my babys I had 2 angel nurses who supplement fed my babies twice a day on 2 ounces of cool, boiled water & 1 level teaspoon of raw sugar dissolved in the water. They were the same nurses.:)

Awww how sweet of your boyfriend. I agree that your sister should just start feeding Chloe formula if the breast milk is, indeed, what is causing the jaundice.

I need a new mountain bike…bikes for beaches are so much weirder than the bikes I’m used to. I didn’t go to the beach until I was 17, FYI. Oh, poor sweet baby! She’ll get better soon. 🙂 *

I have never heard of bilirubin being referred to as a hormone, as it is a pigmented breakdown product from red blood cells and is recirculated for bile-production or excreted. Here’s a site I found that, although not professional, may least provide a basis for you/your sister to ask questions. Seems like everything should be fine :). http://www.breastfeedingbasics.com/html/jaundice.shtml

Found you on random. I really like your journal and hope all is well with the child. Jaundice is not a “****s and giggles” kind of illness. Maybe pink eye but not jaundice.
