3 weeks, 4 days

Today you met Blayz for the first time. You and him got to sleep in the Moses basket for a bit while mom got pictures. He was pretty jaundiced so you and him looked mighty different. It’s amazing in just 3 weeks how fast you grow! Even your head was just so big compared to his. We laughed about how you’ll probably remind him that you are, in fact, older than him, if only by just 3 weeks!

You had your appt with Dr Pelinka today. You weighed 9lb 2oz and are doing just great! The first part of your immune studies came back just great! Today they had to draw more blood for the rest of the studies and also to recheck your Phenobarbital level. Hopefully if it’s stable we’ll be able to hold off on drawing it again for a few weeks. Your tone in your legs were a bit slow, but that might just be your normal. Grandma Sherrill came to this appointment with us to meet Dr Pelinka. She’s calling OHSU to see if we need to do a followup MRI before you go up on February 15th.
You slept good for daddy last night – only waking up once at 2am to eat. Otherwise you slept the rest of the night. Since tonight is my night I’m hoping I’m just as lucky!!
You’re starting to sleep with your eyes open, which is weird. You flutter your eyes around and make noises but once I wake you up you’re fine. Dr Pelinka says it happens sometimes. So far you’re just perfect! Until later, we love you!
