This is such a roller coaster ride. Today we spent half of the day at Kaiser, but Zealand is now clear from worry about Jaundice, and therefore does not need to be admitted for light therapy. He also put on some weight since the previous day's measurements. (They claimed he added 6oz in 24hrs which I think is pretty much physically impossible. They even used the same scale, but something must have been wrong with the first one.) His weight was bumped by breast feeding which is just starting to get flowing. (This is a whole different story to go into.)
Today Chelsea and I shared several big laughs thinking about how tiny Zealand is and how big baby's get! It's just crazy! Chelsea's friend Jen came over for a quick visit and brought her second son Caulder - which emphasized the point. He's nine months, doesn't really talk, poops diapers, is super cute, and eats breast milk. That's what ours does! How are we going to get from her to there?? And how many nights of crying between? How many diapers. This is crazy!.....and awesome. [Thanks for the food Jen]
