I have had another big growth spurt--I now weigh 6 pounds, 8 ounces! I also have longer wakeful periods these days. I like to trick Mom by acting sleepy just before she is about to leave, then I perk up and open my big, beautiful eyes and bat my eyelashes. This tactic never fails to keep her around longer.

My bilirubin has been slowly creeping up again. Today it was 9.8. The doctor says that I can handle that level at my present size, so I am not going back under the bililights at this point. They are just monitoring my levels closely.

In happier news, I have now had 3 days in a row without a bradycardia! Hooray!!

Tomorrow Daddy will get back from Philadelphia. I can't wait to see him!
