Day 6 - November 5, 2012


Monday already?!?!
At least it wasn't time to go back to work...or was it?!?!

Rich and I hit the office for a few hours on Monday morning and left Chukar to babysit Griffin while we were just a room away!   He stood and watched Griffin sleep or sat and stared at him for a few hours...only making a peep when Griffin was waking up.  Pretty much warning us that Griffin was ready to eat or maybe had pooped!  Good babysitter!

Monday afternoon were hit the road again and went to our postpartum visit at Overlake Women's Center...we learned a great lesson and will now always pack an extra outfit in the diaper bag...for the blowouts that ensue when you are out and about!

At out appointment, we found out that Griffin's Jaundice numbers were up and we needed a blood test...we did the blood work at the hospital and headed home to wait for the results.  On our way home, we found out that his levels has risen to 21 and that he was going to need to go on a light box to treat the Jaundice...the new mom in me felt that I had done something wrong and was so sad that my little man was going to spend the next 3-5 days on his box.  Luckily, we have great insurance, so Griffin was able to get treatment at home and have the home health nurses come to us!

Monday night, Kelby, Ryan and Beckett brought us dinner...and were there when we had to put our little man on the light.  It was so great to have friends there when we heard the hard news....
