glad last week is over ...
Well our little man certainly kept us on our toes.
He came doen with jaundice on day 3 and had a blood test when he was a week old, and although he had a good level of bilirubin, they decided it would go down by itself.
A couple of days later, we went to hospital for follow up test to make sure it was coming down, and they kept us in. Harry has spent 4 days inside a phototherapy bed, which can only be described as lokking like a sandwich toaster,
His levels came down quite quickly and we're back home now and he looks like he has just come back from hols.
It was horrid not being able to cuddle or feed him, I had to express and they fed down a tube so he is being totally ruined with cuddles now.
Hubby is quite an expert at running a house, shopping and keeping other 3 amused lol. The mums at school love him.
Congratultions to the BS I've missed and hope those still waiting are not waiting too long
