One more night

The 3 of us are spending one more night in the hospital as the baby has a mild case of Jaundice. The nurses have suggested that we stay one more night, and retest for it in the morning. We should be home by Saturday afternoon, as I said, the results from the blood test were low levels of bilirubin, which is a good sign that it's only mild. A retest in the morning will show if Brenden has more or lesser levels, and if less, then we will be sent home, if not, the baby may need a light treatment and we will be sent home later that day most likely. It'll be nice to come home, and not have the nurses disctracting us every few hours.

Last night was amazing! Brenden slept from 2AM ti 8AM. That's my normal hours of sleep, so he is right on schedule already. We'll see what happens tonight, althrough the nurses advised that tonight we get up every 3 hours to feed because of the slight Jaundice.

Well, just picked up a few more diapers and sleepers and once again I'm heading back!

I would like to say CONGRATULATIONS to Justin and Christine (Michelle's Cousin) on delivering their baby boy (Thomas Kuipers) the same day as ours! April 20 is a great day for both of our families! All the best to the Kuipers and Christine's Family!
