We brought Ian home from the hospital on Monday. His bilirubin levels were still a bit high, so he did a bit of "tanning" under some lights here at home. Today was the last day for the lights. Now we're working on getting him to gain weight. I'm pumping and feeding him from a bottle as he is totally worn out after exerting the energy to eat. So we head to the breastfeeding clinic each day to have him weighed...I'm praying tomorrow he'll have gained weight-or at least maintained. He weighed in at 5 lbs 13 oz today...down from 6 lbs 8 oz. I'm hoping that within a few weeks he'll be able to nurse so I can save some time and energy on the whole pumping and bottle feeding deal. Overall he's doing well and we are grateful for a healthy little guy!
