Update




So, it's been just over two weeks!
Kiernan is doing very well. His jaundice is gone, and he had an infection in his eye. We got drops for that, and he's doing fine now. He's back at his birth weight, which is expected, and has grown a half inch. So he's now 9 lbs 8 oz and 23 inches. crazy! Looking at his face and just watching him move, you can tell that he's been growing, and that he's just slowly getting a better understanding of his environment. Part of the major benefit of being an early childhood major, I know some things I get to look for.

Uh oh, crying baby

just wanted to be held :)

He really is a cutie and a very calm mild baby. He only truly CRIES when he's being changed, or is being given a bath. He *HATES* baths right now, hopefully we'll find a way to make it a not so scary experience for him :)

I'm feeling great. I've lost all 50 lbs from the pregnancy weight gain that I had. That just shows how much water I was retaining, and how swollen i was. I fit back in the pants I had before I got pregnant, I thought that wouldn't happen for a couple of months, so it was a nice surprise. :)

He's starting to be able to calmly sleep in the cradle, which is nice, just need to find a night light that's bright enough for me to see things, and dark enough for Bryan to be able to sleep.

a couple of pics to enjoy :)
