....was HORRIBLE!!! Somewhere around 9pm, Asher decided he was going to refuse to nurse. However, he was starving! And then his screaming woke up Ryan. So we had two screaming kids for a while. Jon was the only one in the family not crying! My mom came down to see if she could help me figure out what was going on with the nursing- and Jon brought Ryan over to my parents' house for a little while to get away from the madness and chill out for a bit. After Asher settled, Jon and Ryan came back and Jon got Ryan back to sleep. Asher didn't let me get much sleep- but that was to be expected- and I was just happy that he didn't wake Ryan again. I'm hoping this isn't going to be our new "normal".
On another note- we've been back to the hospital twice today for heel sticks. Asher left the hospital on saturday with a bilirubin # of 13.8. A number of 14 or higher indicates jaundice- so he was borderline. We went this morning and his number was 16.9 and the pediatrician on call said she'd like for us to come back tonight to get his # checked again. If it went up- he was going to be admitted. Well- we went tonight and his # is holding steady at 16.9. So they sent us home and told us to come back again tomorrow morning. UGH! I'm so tired of going back and forth and it's horrible to see my little guy get stuck so many times. His little heels are going to fall off! It's bad enough he had heel sticks every 4 hours for his first 24 hours of life to check his blood sugar level (because he was a big baby). So his little feet look like pin cushions. Fingers crossed his number goes down tomorrow!
