Nait
AidenSo our first week home was quite the week. We were lucky to have grandma D here with us to make us food and yummy cookies! But mostly it was a week of tanning beds and heel slices for the little man. Because of the bruising on his face, Aiden's bilirubin levels were pretty high so we got to bring the lights home with us. Now I am grateful we didn't have to keep him at the hospital, but it is very hard to have your baby home and not be able to hold him because he has to be in the "suitcase tanning bed" 24 hrs a day. Every morning we would go to the hospital lab and have his heel sliced to retest his levels. Let's just say that by the end he didn't even flinch when they sliced him.
Aiden was quite the trooper and slept really well. We had heard horror stories and we were very lucky to have such a good baby!
Days under lights: 6
Heel Sticks: 7

Hey there!!! I really need to come visit you. I totally feel your pain with the tanning bed. Jorie had to do it too. It's just not fair to not be able to hold your brand new baby!!! He is so stinking cute!!!
