Sleeping in his own crib

On Monday night Bryan and I gave our Sweet P a bath, I nursed him and then we put him in his own room. We laid him down at 1030 and he slept until 3 am before he got up again to nurse. This has been a great thing now that all of us are getting at least 4 to 5 hours of sleep a night between nursings. Preston is a very noisy sleeper. He grunts and groans and makes this noise like he is clearing his throat.

First weekend just the Three of us

Bryan, Preston and I just hung out last weekend. We did leave preston with his mena to go and see Harry Potter but i was so ready to get home to my baby. We have been adjusting to not having extra hands around the house but we are adjusting. Here is a picture of the boys taking a nap!

Jaundice

Well we got home on Monday July 6th but we had to go back to the docter because Preston had high levels of bilirubin when we discharged. His levels were 10.5 and as long as they were under 13 we could go home. We went back to the doctor on Wednesday to check his bilirubin and his levels were 19. When levels are near 24 it can cause brain damage. Preston was put on a belly bed for 3 days. This was the hardest part of having him home and not being able to hold him. We could only take him out when he needed to be fed and then back under the lights. He had to be under the lights for 20-22 hours a day. They checked his levels on thursday and they were at 14.9 and on friday they were 12.1. Finally i was able to hold my baby. Here is a picture of him in his belly bed.
