In case you’re wondering how Mamas are doing… Mandy is recovering from her c-section, slowly but surely. She’s in a little bit more pain than usual today, and really needs to take it easy. Hopefully the pain will mellow out soon. I’m still feeling lousy, albeit better than yesterday. I tried out a tiny bit of mashed potatoes last night (it was okay earlier in the week) and so far so good. I had a little more this morning, but now, a couple of hours later, I’m beginning to regret it. Ah well. You win some, you lose some.

And since I can’t post just about us… LeahBug’s bilirubin levels are still coming down. Hopefully she gets to ditch the tanning booth some day soon. But she has some even bigger news for you today: She got her first little drops of breast milk! She is on a continuous feed, so she’ll get a little syringe full of breast milk delivered directly into her stomach over the course of four hours. She seems to be tolerating it well so far, but it’s only been about two hours since they started, so we’re still waiting to see how she does with it over time.

Fatten up, little Leah Bug!
