First Weekend at Home

OH YEAH!!!! WE ARE IN LOVE!!!!

Man are we tired!!!

Samuel is a sweet baby, not a lot of trouble, he just hasn't figured out that the bed is for sleeping!! We continue to work on the feeding issues and the jaundice. Carrie's milk is coming in well, and he is feeding better. The jaundice has kind of been up and down this weekend. It was greatly improved Saturday, worse Sunday, improved again today. He is much more alert today and we are giving him a little at home photo-therapy. No that doesn't mean we are taking his picture, just giving him lots of light which helps his body break down the billirubin in his blood, the substance that causes the jaundice.

We are taking him to the Dr. for a well baby check up in a little while, where they will check his jaundice and his weight. Weight loss isn't a common problem for us Mauldins, so it is a bit of foreign territory! :-)

We have my niece Jaden with us today, we watch her a couple of days a week and she loves Samuel! She just pats his head, gives him kisses, and says over and over "he's so ssswweeettt".


We thank all of you for your thoughts, prayers, and words of encouragement. Your friendship means so much to us. God bless till next time!

Here are the pics!

Tell me wwwhhhyyy do we have to change this diaper again???

I know I need photo-therapy, but this is embarrassing!!!
(First little trip to the pool, Momma and baby didn't swim of course, and neither did Dad because we were smart enough to know the water was too cold even though the day was nice and warm. Zachary and his friend Blake of course were much to smart to listen to us.
Swim didn't last very long!) :-)

Hey Samuel, watch this!
