No More Billiblanket!!!
Caeden had a great day yesterday when it came to his feedings. Unfortunately he was very spitty today and didn't eat as much as we would have hoped so we had to give him formula for the first time. It was going well until he decided to take huge gulps which ended up making him sick. Tonight after the nurses' shift change they came in and took his billiblanket for his Jaundice and said he's done with it for now. They will check his billi count tomorrow morning and hopefully it stayed down so he won't need it anymore. You can definitely tell that his body is busy getting rid of the billiroubin because he had four fairly good size blow outs today. Never thought we'd get so excited about wet and poopy diapers :) He had kind of a rough evening after he was given his Hepatitis B shot at 6:30. They say it makes them feel kind of crappy and I'm pretty sure that was the case for the little guy because this was the first time he's ever really been fussy. Another first for us tonight was giving him a sponge bath. He wasn't too excited about it until we washed his hair and were brushing it, boy did he calm down after that. Because of his stressful entrance into this world they are also going to be doing a car seat challenge on him in the middle of the night. They'll be placing him in his car seat for an hour and will be watching his stats to make sure they remain fairly constant. If they don't we may have to use a car bed for him instead of his infant seat for awhile. If all goes well tomorrow we're hoping he may be going home after Kyle gets off work. So cross your fingers and say a prayer that we'll finally be able to bring our little guy home :)
