Week 1

Hard to believe that week 1 is over already but in reality this week was mostly the time spent in the hospital. You had quite a few visitors this week - even your grandparents and aunt Kate from Kalamazoo.

We also learned all about bilirubin this week and got our fill of Jaundice treatments but you made it over that hump and don't have to worry about any more testing or treatments there. Our first pediatrician's appt. was on Monday and you passed with flying colors. Your weight went down a little bit to 7lbs 7oz. but they said that was totally normal - and given all you went thru was really good.

We've been working though some feeding challenges and everyone says they'll get better with time but I'm just hoping it's not too much time. I'm planning to go to the La Leche League mtg this week so maybe we can get some help there too.

I don't think you look too much different this week but I wonder what everyone else thinks who doesn't see you all the time.

Daddy went back to work this week so we'll be trying to find a new normal at home - just the two of us. I'll be excited when we can leave the house a bit more and run errands together. Maybe we can venture there week 2!
