Good News

Yesterday I posted a video called Week 2 update. I mentioned we were going to the pediatricians to look at a few things: weight, bump on head, jaundice. We got good news on all three fronts. I did not know this before our first peds appt. but apparently babies lose weight right after being born then the docs want them to gain back that lost weight in the first two weeks to be "healthy." Caden has gained back all his birth weight plus an additional 9 ounces. He weighed in at 8.5 yesterday. That also means he gained 10 oz in the last 6 days so he is definitely eating enough and healthy on that front.
As for the jaundice, the doc said it was all but gone. There is a little bit in his eyes but she said that was the last place for it to hide and should be gone soon. So, no brain damage from jaundice in our future.
The bump on his head, which is large and fairly soft, was another concern OF Sarah's. Its nothing, just a broken blood vessel from pressure during the delivery, so that eased Sarah's worries.
I received an email from my Assistant Principal asking me to come in August 20th for some paid training. The extra money is definitely appreciated but that is 2 days earlier than expected so a little bummer on that note. Less time with the baby before summer vacation is over. So sorta good news.
Going into the hospital today for a PKU test, and over to Gary and Annette's for a bbq tonight. It will be Caden's first night out on the town(ish).
