Normally they don’t really have their first appointment until 2 weeks, but they wanted to bring him in because I needed antibiotics during labor and only had time for half the recommended amount, so they wanted to make sure he didn’t get an infection. He’s fine on that front.
He’s back up to his birth weight already. That’s a great sign because they don’t usually expect that until 2 weeks. He’s eating enough that it doesn’t surprise me much. He’s also slightly jaundiced, but doesn’t even need any therapy for that, though I’ll try to get a little sunlight therapy for that in the morning if these clouds will just go away, and his constant eating and dirty diapers should help flush out his system.
We’re getting excited for the three day weekend. It’ll be nice to just have some family time. I’ve hardly seen Michael since the delivery and I’m kinda missing him. He’s having a little bit of a rough time lately. He’s been getting some special time with Kevin, but he still had a nightmare lastnight that woke him up for the day at 5, oh and he woke up Aiden, who got up for the day as well. We’re all kinda hoping for an early bedtime tonight.
Aiden is doing great, helping all of the time, picking outfits, throwing away diapers, etc. He’s really excited about his brother, but he is acting up a bit more than usual too.
The nursing is going great and I’m starting to think we’re over the hardest part. Joey had his first bath at home today and that was fun, he didn’t like it so much but he smells so nice now! His eyes are more and more open as we go on, each day he looks around a little bit more.
