Baby Blues

So it is nice to be home with our new baby and we are getting used to being parents, but it has been rough. Jackson came home on a light bed because he has Jaundice. We have been back in twice to check his billirubin levels and thing shave only gotten worse. If things haven't improved by tomorrow, he will be checked back into the hospital, so pray for our little one please. He should start getting better because despite how much it hurts me we have started feeding him formula every 3 hours. Part of the problem is that he doesn't like to eat for us so he isn't pooping enough to get rid of the billirubin. Things should improve now that he is eating and I hope we can get him back to nursing once he is better. I am pumping as much as I can though to keep him on as much breastmilk as possible. Wish us all luck!

And here is a picture of him in his little light bed. Oh, and pictures of the flowers Tom bought me....

  1. Oh no, poor baby! He does look cute in his light bed, though. I'm sure everything will be on track soon. And you deserve all the flowers you can get--way to go, Tom!
