Our first week with Mackay was adventurous to say the least. Mackay had some Jaundice that the Dr. was worried about, so we got sent home with our own little tanning bed. Mackay was supposed to be on this light bed for 3 hours straight and then 1 hour for feeding and loving. Well, that got old really fast. Mackay even had to sleep on this bed. Every day we had to take him to LDS hospital to get his blood tested. After the first couple of days his level even went up! So we were sent home with another light that was to be applied to his tummy. Finally after a while his level dropped to where we could take him off the lights.
Mackay is a good little boy. It’s fun to learn things he likes and doesn’t like. Mason and Maxwell have been WONDERFUL big brothers. Poor Max had a cough for the first couple of days Mackay was home, so his contact with the baby was limited. Both Mason and Maxwell were very excited to meet their new brother, as they weren’t allowed to go to the hospital according to the new state wide hospital rules of no one under the age of 14 allowed in the hospital.

What sweet pictures! He is so precious. Glad to hear the jaundice is getting under control poor little guy.
Oh my goodness, I did not even know little tanning beds existed for babies. I am so glad the jaundice is getting better now. I think about you guys often and wonder how the transition is going for you since we are both in the same boat. I can't wait to meet your little guy!
SEriously! What a cutie pie! Sorry the jaundie was so crazy. Glad things are better and he gets more cuddle time instead of tanning time!
He is so adorable! Hope the jaundice gets better soon!
