First Doctors Visit

On our way to the doctors appointment.
I couldn't drive myself yet, so my in-laws watched the other two and my mom drove me to the appt.

Getting weighed. Back up all the way to 8.2! Yay!!! We are almost back to birth weight 8.6.

Um... the nurse wasn't paying very close attention and measured his head over his eyes.

My sweet angel.

Getting checked out by Dr. Amstutz.

He has some scaly, rashy skin. Needing some moisturizer. I try to keep him gooped up with Aquapher.

I love it when Dr. Amstutz closes his eyes to really listen and concentrate when he is checking his lungs and heart. I feel like he is really doing a thorough job.

My poor baby getting his bilirubin checked again. They called with the results and he is at 15.9, which for his age is on the borderline of being in the high risk area. Which means that he could have to be on the light therapy blankets. BUT we had him in the sunshine all afternoon, so hopefully that made his levels come down a bit. We have to go get checked again tomorrow.

Lets hope they went down!

Going home. Giving me the stink-eye for having to get his blood drawn.

Sunshine therapy.

Sophie gave baby a kiss and then Vollen copied her and gave baby a kiss too.

His little ear hair.

Vernon took this picture and liked how he was holding his fingers.

The very cool card Sherri made for us! She is so good!

That dark, soft, silky hair on his back.

Our final visitors. Sarah and Cael came up to say hi!

His going home outfit. And spit up on it 5 minutes later!

Loading up.

My cutie

Waiting for hubby to load up the van with our stuff.

He was smiling at me here. It was bigger a few seconds earlier. So precious!

Last night was our first night home. He did pretty good. He got up 2 times to eat. The second time was a little disastrous. I fed him and then when he was done I felt he was wet. He was soaked from head to toe. He had peed through his diaper, pj's and his swaddle blanket. So, I had to change every thing and it took a long time. I was up for 2 hours total that feeding getting everything back in order.

Some funny things he has been doing are he stretches out his arms up over his head and his legs straight out. And they just stay straight out. His skinny legs that have these little folds, so cute. He is my only baby that has taken a pacifier. I am leery about starting to use it. I don't want to have to ween him of it down the road. I can't get over how much he looks like Sophie did when she was a baby. Like exactly. It's weird.

My new mug. So cute.

With my yummy Coconut chai in it. Yummmmmm

Last night was the first night Vollen noticed Ronan. He hugged him and kissed him and touched his arm. He was gentle. I think he likes him. He kissed him again today.

Photoshoot Cont.

I finally got around today to getting more of our photo shoot pictures up.
