Follow up appointment @ 2 1/2 weeks

Colby had an appointment on 4-10. His jaundice level was down to 9. In the hospital it was 12 and at his first appointment it was 13. So, it is really good now. I guess his complection is really dark like his Daddy and not yellow from the jaundice. Also, his weight was up to 9lbs 4oz.! I was really glad to hear that. It means that I must be doing something right with nursing. I had to nurse him in the parking lot that day. Then again on Thursday after my dentist appointment.

2 Weeks Old

I know I'm not posting much about what is going on in our daily lives now. We are really trying to work on this nursing thing. I will update when I have a chance to get into it.
Here's his 2 week pic...
I'm down to 125 lbs. My 2 week postpartum belly pic...
Compared to my 5 week shot and my 40 week 4 days shot. Still unbelievable that he fit in there!

His 2 day follow up appointment

Colby had to follow up 2 days after discharge because of his jaundice. They had to stick both feet because the first one went dry before they had enough blood. My Dr. let us go before we got the results. He said that he didn't look yellow and he thought he was better. But, they had to stick him because of protocol. He said they'd call if it was high. I haven't heard from them so it must have been good. He had lost 1 oz. He was not happy with them sticking him. Especially when it got to taking so long to get the blood.
