It’s been an interesting week since I brought Debbie to the hospital to deliver Harrison. Shortly after the birth Debbie was given a sweet corner post-partum room courtesy of our doctor. The next day Lillian and I went to visit Debbie and the two siblings got along swimmingly - Thank Goodness. Debbie and Lillian went through many bags of TGIFriday’s Tato Skins chips and I learned that hospital food really isn’t too bad.
All has not been smooth sailing however. Harrison only pooped twice during his 48+ hour stay in the hospital and his Bilirubin levels were somewhat high (although not as high as Lillian’s) so the threat of jaundice was there. The next day we went to the hospital for a scheduled blood test and the levels were even higher, so Harrison was admitted so he could spend some time under some bililights. All was good about 48 hours later and I even got to spend some time talking to Lynch’s parents.
Sleep is a rare commodity, but I am getting much more than poor Debbie who has to nurse every 2 hours or so. Thank goodness for Debbie’s mom who has been with us for 3 weeks and was able to watch Lillian when we couldn’t. Today Lillian and mom went out to lunch at the Cobblestone Diner and they came back with a green balloon that said, “We ate at the Cobblestone Diner.” Cool.
