Healthy As a Horse

We had an appointment this morning with the pediatrician to check on his weight and jaundice. They made both seem like he was teetering on "problem," so we've been a bit anxious over the past 24 hours and were getting nervous that he wasn't getting enough milk. I barely slept last night and I won't get into details, but let's just say my night involved two strippings of all sheets, blankets, and clothing from the baby, one unbelievably poopy diaper, and witnessing my son peeing in his own hair. This was all, of course, after his first sponge bath earlier in the night.



So fresh and so clean...


A-dor-able


At any rate, the big beefcake had gained 5 ounces and the pediatrician was actually surprised and impressed by how much he had gained. His jaundice is only mild, and coupled with his weight gain is not an issue at all. So we were able to breathe a sigh of relief and return home with the hopes of trying to get some sleep at some point during the day.

The cats are just now beginning to show their faces around the house again. We didn't see them at all for a solid two days.
