Two weeks old...

Baby is two weeks old and what a two weeks it has been.  When he first came home from the hospital, we took him to the doctor to get his weight checked.  He was losing weight and had jaundice.  We set another appointment on Monday and he was down even more weight!  And they sent us to the hospital lab to get his jaundice levels checked.  He was a 7 at the hospital and 15 Monday.  We went back again on Tuesday and he was a 12 so they were happy with that and we were in the clear.  Except for his weight.  We had to get him weighed again Thursday and then Saturday.  We met with the lactation nurse three times.  They were boggled why he wasn't gaining weight since he was a champ at eating and latching.  The doctor took me off Vicadin to get baby off it because it was making him sleepy.  We went to the doctor again Monday and they finally had me give him supplements to make up for the weight loss.  I also needed to take herbs and drink Mother's Milk Tea to up my milk supply.  Tomorrow we have the big test to see if all this worked.  I am very stressed about his weight loss.  He should be gaining and I should be losing!  Here's hoping he gets to be a chunky monkey.
