good baby news
asher's bilirubin is down to 14.4! 14 is the magic number...we're not fully there yet, but the doc is hopeful and has taken us off the bili-light and stopped the heel pokes until monday. hopefully monday he'll be way below 14 and we'll never have to deal with the bili-blanket again! at least, that's what i'm praying for.
he's also already up to 8lbs 10ozs...he gained 4 ozs in 2 days! yikers!! this boy can eat. in fact today he's been in a fit to be tied, which is bizarre, since he's usually so laid back, and all he wants is to eat and be held. mostly eat. i don't even know if he's getting anything because he's feeding so often...but i let him eat anyway.
i'm not sure, but i may have the beginning signs of thrush. i guess you can get it from taking antibiotics. the doc says asher's fine and i look good, but since i'm sore and a bit red, i've started on probiotics to up my good bacteria. we'll see if that helps.
i got pee'd on at the doc's today. when we took asher's diaper off to weigh him, we found a mess, so i carried him back into the exam room in a towel. when we got inside, he started wailing for milk, so i decided to latch him on. that must have made him relax, because all of a sudden i felt very warm and wet and then felt splashes on my foot. he soaked me quite well! little stinker. i had to walk out of the office all wet. then, when we got home, he proceeded to fill his diaper again. when i changed him, he managed to get it all over his feet and legs! my word! guess it's a bath night!
he has a little heat rash going on in his nether regions too that the doc told us to just 'air out'...air out? with all the pooping and peeing going on, i'm afraid to 'air him out'! i know they make a pee pee tee pee, do they make a poop catcher too?

Oh - and if you find a poop-catcher anywhere, let me know. Babies sure are... um, powerful!
