SLY was born Friday, July 22nd in the evening. Right around 9pm EST. I am so happy I'm bursting. I have never known what it felt like to love someone so instantly without knowing them. I flew home on a red eye (5 hours delayed) to see her. I spent less than 48 hours with her and it was so amazing. I'm so happy to have gone to be with them. But now there is fear running through all of us. She is jaundice. Now I KNOW she will be okay but I can't help but worry about her and my sister. They are staying at the hospital right now. Sofia is under a light to help get her more sun to her skin and get rid of the yellow tint. I guess it's called the bely rubin? level that is too high. They are also feeding her a bottle on top of the breast milk so she is getting enough nutrients. I guess her weight went down too much too fast but now they are in the hospital which is where they should be right now. I know everything will work out. She just needs to be under the light for about 16 hours and continue to eat and everything will be fine. I just wish I was there with them. While all of this is going on, my father is still in the hospital for this gallbladder infection. They think they found the right antibiotics for him so hopefully he will be getting out tomorrow. We don't know yet. My mother is being so strong. I'm having stupid fights with my fiance. It's just too much for all of us right now.
