First weeks at home

Your first few nights at home were rough! 

Everything that we thought we knew from having Makenzie just didn't work with you!  You hated swaddling and the swing.  The only way we could survive was for Mommy to sleep with you on her chest for most of the night!

You suffered from some pretty severe jaundice, so our first week was spent running back and forth to the lab for heel sticks and doctor's visits.  We narrowly avoided a hospital admission.

We eventually realized that you were suffering from reflux, and some Ranitidine helped a bit.  After supplementing with formula to get you through the jaundice, you got very confused with breast feeding and we eventually settled on a special formula that agreed with your tummy.  After the intial newborn weight loss, you started gaining weight like a champ!

 Big Sissy is in love with you and asks to hold you every day when she returns home from school.
