He is nursing really well, about every 2 hours during the day. But he is already doing fabulous at night. He eats around 9 or 10, sleeps until 1 or 2 (last night it was 3!), then sleeps again until 5 or so! Definately not bad for a one-weeker. :) He sleeps in his little rock and play sleeper beside our bed. And he does like to be swaddled for the most part. Sometimes after he eats at 5, I just leave him unswaddled in our bed, just so he will sleep a little longer.
Sometimes he will take his paci, sometimes not so much. If he is getting hungry, the paci is a no-go.
The big boys are adjusting well. They both are crazy about their little brother. They just want to kiss and love on him all the time...sometimes a little too much.
Levi had his first sponge bath a couple days after we got home. He wasn't too fond of it. I think I have a similar picture of my other boys after their first baths too.
We have been having some issues with jaundice this first week. We had his levels checked, and while they are elevated, they aren't high enough to admit him for phototherapy treatment, so we have been treating him with good ole' fashion sunlight at home. He naps the majority of the time by a window, and I try to feed him by a window as well. We are finally starting to see a big improvement these last few days!
We have been trying to go outside early in the mornings while it is still cool to let Brody and Beckett play. It's just been waaay too hot in the afternoons!
And our Beckett-man continues to be an early riser (like 5:30 am), so Brent has just been taking him running with him. Beck loves it, and it lets me get a little more rest as well.
The 2nd bath went much better!
