Since I've Been Home...

Thought we would update everyone on what Grant has been up to since he has been home. Before we left the hospital last Tuesday we were told Grant was a little jaundice. This is completely normal for babies 2 weeks early. His levels kept going up last week, but when we brought him in on Monday (of this week) the jaundice levels were starting to go down. He is now looking less yellow. He doesn't have a blanket or anything to bring the levels down - we were just told to feed him more often so it would work through his system.
We feel very blessed to have such a great little boy. He really is pretty easy going - except when it comes to eating :) Because of his jaundice - he is very tired. We actually have to wake him up to eat. This involves stripping the poor little guy down to his diaper everytime he needs to eat just to try to keep him awake (and usually that still doesn't work.) Knock on wood - today's feedings have been going a little bit better.
Here are a few pics since we've been home.
