Logan had some feeding issues at the hospital. Thursday night he had a projectile vomiting episode and wasn't able to eat the rest of the night. The doctor ordered an X-ray of his abdomen to find out what was going on, and it looked like he wasn't going to get discharged with me afterall. Turns out Baby was very constipated with meconium! After getting an infant suppository? and a couple of diaper explosions later we were sent home Friday afternoon.
So far Logan is a nightowl which is the schedule he had in utero so no surprise there. Last night was the most alert he's been, but we were all waiting for him to go to sleep so we could all go to bed, but that never happened. He stayed up until his next feeding time. William woke up in the middle of the night vomiting sick with a stomach bug and has since been quarantined away from newborn Logan and the rest of us. So we are down a pair of hands and my mom and I are exhausted!!!!
Logan also has jaundice. The doctor sent him home with a Wallaby light for light therapy. We had to take him back to the hospital today to be tested but he's up to 14 so he has to stay on the light for another day at least. That is the grey cord coming out of his stomach. You can see the yellow in the whites of his eyes in the last photo of Mammaw holding him. He goes back to get tested again tomorrow so hopefully his numbers have started to go down.
So everyone please pray that William gets better quick so he can fulfill his Daddy duties :)

What a cutie! I can't believe how big he is! WOW! Congratulations! I'm so excited for you guys!
All 6 of us Joneses had jaundice and some sort of light therapy. Mary Jane had it too. Hopefully his bilirubin levels will go down soon. Also, our prayers are with you for a fully healthy family! Congratulations and good luck!
Hey Stephanie, congrats on #2; he looks like William. You'll love having two boys in a row. I really enjoy having Sydney and Claire in a row because they like to play the same things. Send me your email and I'll send you an invite to our blog. I went private a while back. I just came across a Christmas card you sent that said you looked at our blog. angelou22 at gamil dot com Congrats again; you're a trooper for carrying and then delivering such a big boy.
