O's 1 week Check!

Hey Y'all!!

Happy Thursday and TGIF tomorrow. Today we took O in for his 1 week check up/weigh in. He is doing really well considering how early he decided to join our family into this crazy world.

Today when he was weighed he was 7lb 6 1/2 oz..which is AMAZING he was born weighing 7lb 7oz..being a 1/2 oz away from birth weight a week and two days is really good! He was 51cm in length and his wee little head is 33 1/2cm around in circumference.

Right now we are just keeping an eye on his jaundice levels. As long as his wee system keeps peeing and pooping things out of his system. As of yesterday getting more blood work done at the hospital his levels are going down for bilirubin. They always want to see a spike..then it plateaus and drops..when the baby is younger and the number is higher it is more serious. He is now at a medium to low risk. His colour is looking a lot better.

We go back in Monday for another weigh in just to make sure he is continuing to gain with everything. Also to see if his colour is looking better. Overall our family Doctor did not seem too concerned with the jaundice. If he seems like he is getting worse..not eating..not peeing/pooping enough times in a 24hr period we take him in to get checked out.

Will Post more about how we all our soon. Today Miss E is 19 months old and O is 1 week 2 days. Hard to believe how time is flying..she sure does love him and wants to help out tons.
