it was that momma instinct. our precious tiny new lil bundle was sleeping way more than we thought normal, had a very swollen tummy that was hard, & was yellow head to toe = including the whites of his eyes. pediatrician kept saying it was jaundice.... but i just wasn't quite thinking so - ZA & ZB both came home from the hospital w/jaundice... here ZC was born in june - i had this baby sunbathing nude - - how i wondered could it be JUST jaundice ??.. then few days /week or so later i was told he had breastfed jaundice.... okay now that was a new one on this momma so i felt 'better' ...
until everyone around us made comments on his YELLOW skin & eyes.... OK that's IT .... no more of this over the phone business - i demanded for him to be seen. well i recall that the day i decided enough was enough that the pediatrician we were using was at a clinic in a different town... i could either try to go there or just wait - the nurse i kept speaking with was sure that waiting another few days was no biggie.... she had me = i mean these people go to school for years & have been practicing forever.... i must just be overcautious ??? well IF i was able to undo/redo something this is ONE of them i WISH i could.... i wish SO bad i would've just put my new baby in the car & drove to the amazing Children's Hospital nearby... but that was in a different town - sadly the thought never crossed my mind... i was a tire/worried momma hoping that those i was putting my trust in were doing the right thing.
