Jansen Family Update

Hazel Jane is just the addition this family needed, it seems she completes our family. What a blessing this sweet, content baby is!! Merit and Willem are such good big bros. They really crack me up. Hazel had blood drawn yesterday because her jaundice looked high.. .it was and they had to order us the "bili-light." I didn't realize she was supposed to be under this light pretty much all day and night. I thought just a few hours here, a few hours there. She will have blood drawn again Friday and I hope and pray her numbers will have come down.
When we went to the Medical Supply store to get the bili-light, Willem wanted to show everyone there how he can hold and care for Hazel Jane. :)
Today we picked up Merit from school and he couldn't wait to show some of the ladies there his new sis.
She slept great last night... but that may not be a wonderful thing. I need to be sure to keep her hydrated so probably need to wake her to nurse if she goes more than three hours. This morning I was rested and grateful for her four hour + stretches -- but I need to keep an eye on this little one and make sure she gets lots of breastmilk.
She is so sweet. She is so adorable.... can you tell she has a proud mama??

Tomorrow Merit has a field trip and Willem has a "Let's Pretend" party at his pre-school! What a fun day for both of them!! And we will make sure Hazel gets lots of time with the light. You can see her glowing on this pic here.
