It has been a good week but a long one. Why do all babies come out and sleep all day and party all night? What is about those times when all you want to do is sleep for an hour that clues them and tells them to start acting like a college freshman?
We also had a bit of medical excitement. Jason decided to get a bit jaundiced after we left the hospital and we had to do daily pediatrician appointments until his levels came under 13. He has been hooked up to a lighted mat wrapped around his body and powered by a vacuum cable. We have been living for 4 days in one room of the house and it was awkward to feed and hold him. We were as high as 18.5 and almost ready to be admitted back to the hospital but today we were at 12 and back up to 7.8 pounds after bottoming at 7.0 pounds. We get a reprieve until Monday and can send the hideous machine back.
On a brighter note, Ethan adores his big brother and comes running in from daycare calling his name sand having to kiss him hello. He even bypasses Grandma for his brother (and that is something). Trying to ensure both kids get quality time has been a challenge that requires Jeff and I to be ships that pass in the night. I can't wait for the weekend and to have a little more time with the 4 of us together.
Becca and Trey came over to visit the wee little one. Soon he will have a buddy to play with as the adoption of their little boy should be taking place very soon! Congrats guys!
