3 days old 11:00 am

Well I am going back to work today, this is not going to be easy at all. I will miss a few of his assesment times and I don't like that, but I will have to learn to live with it, someone has to pay for the little guy!! I went to see him at 9:00 and got to feed him. He is taking 15 ml now, which is great. He weighs 3 lbs. 7.4 ozs. which means he lost another 2 ounces between today and yesterday. But that is ok, the nurse said he will probably lose weight for 2 or 3 more days before he starts to gain it again. They put him under a billie light, which is used to help breakdown the red blood cells in his body. If you notice in the pictures he is a little orange-ish red. That is because his liver cannot process everything like ours does, so the billie light helps to fix that. It is normal for preemies and not uncommon in full term babies either. So things are good, keep up the praying!!
