I had a similiar experience w/ my eldest - but not to your extreme. <br />There is one piece of advice that I will give you as a mother of 2 now 9 (almost 10 or in her mind 17) and 7 - YOU ARE THE MOTHER - no matter what anyone says you will know her better than anyone else, better than a Dr. better than a Grandmother, better than her Aunts. You will instinctively know what is right and stick to your intuition. <br />If you think it is time to go to the ER - GO - worst case you have wasted some time. If you think you should not breastfeed for whatever reason - don't - Listen to the advice filter what you want and what you don't. What is right for your family may not be right for another - but it is YOUR family - so do what is best for you. <br />Your daughter needs love, warmth and a happy Mummy! And looks like she is getting it. <br />The only other piece of advice is The days are long but the years are quick. When you are so exhausted that you can't see, and you wonder how one little person can require so much work (laundry, dishes, diapers, etc.) take a step back and just look at her and enjoy the moment. My babies are at school full day and it went too quickly for me. I LOVE the newborn stage - actually I loved all the stages. All the best to you and your little pooper!!!

I am a young woman struggling with a chronic illness myself, and finding more people like me makes me feel less abnormal.

Mine love the various glimpses they see, such as one u/s picture shows a beautiful little foot. Just making our different, our family's norm :) <br />God bless<br />Heather Laurie<br />www.specialneedshomeschooling.comHeather Lauriehttp://www.LaurieFamilyMinistries.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25073771.post-79666682766671674482010-10-23T03:49:48.157-07:002010-10-23T03:49:48.157-07:00So glad to hear she's doing well--jaundice is ...So glad to hear she's doing well--jaundice is tough! I'm also happy to hear that it sounds like you're breastfeeding. I can't say for sure if it was the breastfeeding of course, but I found that my son stayed much healthier during the first 6 months of life than I would have expected, given the number of times I was sick. Even when I came down with an infection, he would stay healthy, or if he did catch something, it was far milder than what I had, and he would recover quickly. Anyway sorry for that tangent! I'm just glad to hear everything's going well and slowly returning to "normal" :)VAFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08440351541843685876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25073771.post-26809174320138793992010-10-22T20:19:04.701-07:002010-10-22T20:19:04.701-07:00Great to hear things are going well!
