Hospital Daze

We spent 2 days in the hospital and was released on Monday the 17th at around noon.  I have chosen to breast feed Lucien so he stayed my my side our entire stay.  During his first day we were told that he had very rosy cheeks which looks cute at first but can change to jaundice if he does not get enough liquids and sun.  So I was feeding anytime he looked hungry.  We sat him over by the window during the day.  On the morning that we left he was cleared of any possible jaundice but we still need to get him out in the sun a few times a day.  The sun and feedings help break down the excessive red blood cells in his face.  His weight at birth was 6 lbs. 8 oz. and when we left the hospital he weighed in at 6 lbs. 3 oz.
