Things are going well.

Day 6 of life and things are going well.  Gave mom and dad a little bit of a scare with his jaundice numbers. They were getting higher so he was put on light treatment at home.  (Do people remember those toys called Glow Worms?  When he was swaddled and had the light pads on he looked just like that toy.)  Thankfully that and a little sun bathing did the trick and he is over that hurdle.  So far over that hurdle that he thought last night was party night and didn't go to sleep until 6:30 AM.  Up until this point he has been a good sleeper.  Had his first pediatrician check in as well and all was good.  She was very pleased with his progress and can't get over how strong he is for such a little guy. 

More pictures to come soon.

I am so happy for all of you! Thanks for starting a blog - it will be great fun to watch his progress since we live so far away!
Take care of each other
Love, Nancy

Don't worry about the light treatment. Caitlin had lights and had no further problems. As a matter of fact her Irish skin is a rich olive tone.
Coleman is so cute. You look great!
Love and hugs!
Betsy, Ed, and all
