I can't believe I'm awake right now. I think I have gotten 5 hours of sleep in the last two days. I know every mother reading this is thinking 'Welcome to motherhood'. Thanks. David can apparently sleep through anything. The night before last I attempted to wake him on three separate occasions. On the third try I finally kicked him [gently] in the side to get him to tend to the baby since I had my hands full. As I write this its almost noon and David is still sleeping. I think he has been asleep now for 14 hours. This isn't fair.
James is currently sleeping like an angel but last night he gave the nurse and I hell. We couldn't believe how hungry he was. Between his hunger, his diapers, and gas, it seemed that he was much more vocal than usual. It was just one thing after another. I think he is preparing me for when we get him home.
He is using the bili-blanket again to help assist the bili-lights in reducing the jaundice. Hopefully between the lights and the dirty diapers, his levels will be normal in no time. Since he is feeding so well, he is off of the IV completely now. It's nice having one less cord attached to him. Currently he has four cords attached to him which all work together to monitor his heart rate, his oxygen levels, and his respiratory system.
Things are looking really good. The swelling and bruising on his head [trama from labor] has gone down quite a bit and his head is almost perfectly normal. I'm so happy that he is as healthy as he is. We look forward to taking him home.
