He's Home!!

Beckett got home from the NICU yesterday afternoon.  Hurrah!  All is stabilized with his blood sugar but now his billirubin level is elevated.  This is nothing new to us, since both other kids had the same thing - it has to do with blood incompatibility between Leif and I and the baby.  It requires light therapy and luckily we are able to do this from home.

He has to be on the photo copy looking machine for the entire day/night with the exception of feedings.  The more he's soaking in the light, the sooner he'll be off it for good.  But boy it's hard to put him down so quickly after a feeding.  Makes me wish he wasn't such a fast little piggy when it comes to eating!!

This is usually where Campbelle and Christian are located... right beside his 'bed' - singing and talking to him.

I love these baby pictures...more, more!!!
When I look at that sweet baby face and see those proud siblings, it makes my uterus ache. What are you trying to do to me???
(Was that too much information?)

Hope the bilirubin thing gets resolved without any problems.
Have a wonderful day and greetings from Minnesota.
