Settling at home with new baby

Ryan was a bit jaundiced when we left the hospital. For the first week, we were in and out of the pediatrician office to have his bilirubin levels checked (for the jaundice). It peaked each day, but luckily, it went down by the end of the week. Thank goodness! Ryan's skin color was orangey-yellow; it looked like a bad spray tan all over.

The first week home with Ryan was great. He slept most of the day and fed every 1.5 to 2.5 hours. He slept well most nights; AND he did pull a couple of all-nighters, too. For the most part, he is a calm and easy baby.

We just love the way he curls up on our chest and sleeps!

When we got home, it took Natalie a little warming up to her new brother. At times, she was a little jealous when either Alain or I was holding Ryan, but she adjusted pretty quickly. She wanted to hug and kiss Ryan all the time. At the moment, she calls him "baby" or "Ry-Ry." She also says, "love you" to him. So sweet!

Ryan is a cuddle baby; loves to be held by Daddy or Mommy.
