Day two.

I was bed-bound all day Friday, and I was very frustrated by not being able to see Campbell.  Unfortunately, after I delivered him, the placenta wouldn’t release, so the doctors tried all day to get me to deliver the placenta on my own, but in the end they had to do surgery on Friday evening to remove it.  Unfortunately, they had to open my uterus to do so, so it was essentially like having a c-section.

Campbell received a good report on day two, as well.  He was doing well, but a little jaundiced, so they put him under a phototherapy lamp to break down Bilirubin in his body to eliminate the jaundice.  You can see him below sunbathing in his “cool” sunglasses.
