Healthy Baby

The Pediatrician said Dexter looks great - only a little yellow in his face still. He weighed in at 8lbs even -- that's half a pound more than what he weighed on Wednesday! He's definitely eating well and pooping out that nasty bilirubin. She refused to take blood saying that he looked so healthy she couldn't justify poking him yet again. She sent us home with the instructions, "Enjoy your healthy baby." What a relief!

Hey Ben and Jiffy,

I just read all about your battles with bilirubin. Been there, done that! Both Kelsey and Kaitlyn were kept in the NICU and had to have multiple transfusions because of a that stuff. Glad to hear that Dexter is doing well.
Can't wait to meet the little guy!

Somehow, seeing that look of tiredness on Ben's face as he's holding the baby is priceless to me, mwah ha ha ha!
Thinking of all those days he'd be over hanging out late, and then he went home and got to sleep in but I had to wake up early with Connor. Too funny.

Y'all take care,
-Billy
