At Avery's first doctor's appointment we learned that she was jaundice, which apparently is fairly common in newborns. There are different causes - Avery's was due to her not eating enough - so we were put on a more strict eating schedule and had to have her little foot pricked at the hospital every day until her biliruben levels were high enough to be in the "safe" zone. She was such a trooper! After 5 days of heal pricks and a few more trips to the pediatrician, Avery was all better! Go Avery Go!

Dear Kurt,
I recall a time when you were barely, and I mean barely, able to take care of yourself while we were in school. Now you're responsible for the well-being of a child? Try not to use your baby's bottles as spit cups.
