THAT title is sure to get me on some list somewhere. 🙂
What I have for your viewing pleasure is no ordinary beauty but rather the fair lines of a 14 day old (bili)rubenesque brunette.
Amelia is a bit jaundiced, which is Dr. Jargon for “her liver isn’t breaking down a red-blood cell by-product called bilirubin quite as fast as it should”. Something like 40% of babies have it but premature babies have it a tad more often. Her bilirubin levels are not high by any stretch (13-14 units when 22 is considered high) but the nurse has recommended about 10 minutes of photo-therapy each day to help break down the bilirubin. Funny what the sun helps us do, funny we should need THE SUN!
Which, by the way, I have heard a new term in my late-night/daytime TV watching: Global Dimming. This is what happens when too much man-made particulate matter gets into the atmosphere and actually masks the effects of global warming type gases. To read more, check NOVA. It has been recognized since the 1980’s and proposed as early as 1783 by none other than Benjamin Franklin. He never ceases to amaze me. The man was a genius and socially capable to boot.
While I am thinking of it. How is it that Benjamin Franklin isn’t labelled as the Greatest American? Ben is right next to GW and Clinton in this list from a poll on The Discovery Channel? And Reagan is #1? Who do you think should be number one? I think Benjamin Franklin should be first AND be on this list about 5 times, before some of these “greats” should even be talked about.
But I digressed. Amelia is doing wonderful, Angela and I are tired just about every day (some of “us” more than others) and Abigail is learning to love having Daddy at home.

Hey L,
Looks like Amelia is getting big. That’s great. Her legs don’t look like thin little chicken legs. They look like they’re on their way of becoming nice big juicy legs. Something that can only be said to a girl 1 yr or less.

Well, I have only seen Amelia for the first time just a day or so ago. She looked like a pretty contented little beauty to me! I agree with Hok that her legs are definitely not like “thin little chicken legs” — more like little “chick” legs.
And THAT is definitely something that can only be said about a girl 1 year or less!!
At least by ME.
At least where Great Grandma might see it and recognize who said it.
