Jaundice

I promise I'm still working on the birth story post. This whole breastfeeding thing is a lot more frustrating and time-consuming than I anticipated. I knew it would be hard, but wow. I get so stressed out counting wet and poppy diapers and wondering if they are the right color.

Here are a few pictures from today to hold you over. Corby has thinned out a lot. I think he had a lot of extra water weight when he was born. He is looking very handsome.






We found out today that our poor baby has jaundice, so he is hanging out in a tanning bed. I know he'll be ok, but I hate seeing him like that.



Happy father's day to all the dads out there! Rog was very excited to get to be a dad today. Corby gave him a cute book called, "Just Like Daddy." It's a board book that Rog can read to him.

  1. You look good! Cute lil man, I totally understand with the breastfeeding comment. Everyone told me oh its so natural to babies they know exactly what to do!....ummm no they dont- that was the hardest part, and so frustrating at times. But it gets better, just hang in there for a week or two.

    I totally love being a grandma. I could spend days just watching Corby - babies are such a miracle :)

  6. Absolutely adorable! I LOVE his rolls - the kind of rolls where you have to pinpoint his chin or arms or whatever by their proximity to his eyes. :) SO CUTE!

    And yes, breastfeeding is STRESSFUL! It is definitely not for wimps. I felt like all I did all day (and night) was whip 'em out and sit f-o-r-e-v-e-r. I suggest getting some really good audio books if you're getting bored with TV or music. What's Corbyn's longest stretch of sleep at night? It's so sad, but once you hit a good, solid 4 hours of sleep you feel like a million bucks the next day.... unless you have the Phillips' good genes of babies sleeping through the night from the start. We were not so fortunate.
