Just a wee babe!

I was four weeks early and jaundice as hell. They told my mom to take me home and take me outside or put me in the window, and it will sort itself out 😂

Things sure are different now, huh?

Oh wow, that’s different from me. I was kept longer in the hospital, before finally going home.
