Newborn Check-Up, Sick Buddy, & 1st Night at Home

This morning we loaded up and headed to the doctor for Miss Addison's newborn check-up and also ended up having Maddox seen because he has been running a fever for the last 3 days.

Everything was good with Addison. Her weight is down to 6 lbs 8 oz which is down 7% from her birth weight but anything from 2-10% is normal. She is a tiny bit jaundice but the nurse said that should clear up without us having to do much. We will go back on Monday just for a weight check and if the jaundice is worse we will deal with it then.

Maddox checked out just fine too. They said it is just a little virus that is giving him the fever. He hasn't had any other symptoms so hopefully this clears up quickly and the rest of us stay well!!

Our first night at home went relatively well. Addison had been sleeping ALL day long so I was prepared for a long night of her being up. She was wide awake from about 1 - 3 am but she wasn't fussy so that was nice. Maddox ended up waking up during the night at about 1:45 because he was feeling so crummy and was running a fever again. We finally got him back to sleep and at around 3 Addison fell asleep and slept until about 7!! Aside from Maddox waking up it was a fairly easy night!!

We are LOVING having Miss Addison home. She is such a little peanut!! I don't know if it is still just these early newborn days or what but she has been so laid back! Maddox really hasn't been too interested in here yet which is probably a good thing because with him being sick we aren't supposed to let him be in contact with her. I know eventually he will love his baby sister.

I know what you all really want is pictures so I will do my best to get some posted asap!!
