Much of the Kirby family got to visit little David today. He was still quite tired, and needed to be under the lamp, so we didn't all get to hold him. ( We also had a nurse that was a little, shall we say, short and unaccommodating, and wouldn't give us just 30 min outside the light). Isabelle did a good job getting everyone's spirits up for their drive home. Speaking of Isabelle, she sees the pictures, but still doesn't really know that she is a big sister, let alone that our household is now 4.

I went back later tonite and got to hold him and feed him a little. Much nicer nurse. After two days under the light, his bilirubinaemia has lessened, and he is more active. His weight is up a bit too, now at 5 lbs, 2.9 oz., (2353 grams) althought it did fall quite a bit, to 5 lbs, 1 oz (2295 grams).
