Overdue Update

Tomorrow, Owen will be 3 weeks old! He’s doing very well. He sleeps, eats, cries and poops with the best of them. He wants to be held all of the time and isn’t too interested in his bassinet or swing.

Owen had jaundice when we were released from the hospital. So we had to go to the pediatrician’s office to have him checked every day for the first five days and a few more times since. Now he finally seems to be over the jaundice. For the first few days we also had to have him on a special light that helps to eliminate bilirubin (the cause of jaundice) from his body. That made life a bit more complicated.

This week, Owen will be taking his first trip with me up to visit my family in Seattle.
