Day 3

We took the little bean in for his newborn club appointment and since his bilirubin had gone up he had to get another blood test. It was up to 12 and and his weight had gone down to 6 pounds 6 ounces.
 They recommended supplementing with formula to help pork him up and fend off jaundice. 
 He downed that 2 ounce bottle in no time. Poor kid had been starving.
 All was well once he got some daddy time in. 
 Love those frog legs.
Here you can see that no amount of supplementing satiates his appetite.

  1. OH, we know how the jaundice and hungry baby thing goes. Thank goodness for formula!

    Such a cute baby.

  3. I absolutely love that you're a mom! You have mothered so many other kids through the years and to see you with your own little baby now, it makes me smile. We are so happy for you! Can't tell you enough! Love you! P.S. I have never seen you happier. You looked really happy after being married but now it's even happier!

  4. I can confirm that he likes to eat... a lot. He is so soft and cuddly to hold.

  5. He looks so tiny perched on John's shoulder--and yet somehow he still thinks that he could eat John right up. Such an ambitious baby!
