Cole's Homecoming!

Today, we brought our son home! We are so excited to have him home finally. We called the nursery about 9:30am to see if the test results were in and they weren't so they said they would call and let us know. They called and we picked him up about 2 hours later. YAY! He is so precious and is doing great. Our feeding sessions are only getting better each time, so thank you all for praying for that. I know we were only separated a night, but it was a concerned for us. We do prefer to breastfeed him, but are definitely willing to do what is best for Cole's health. He has not had one drop of formula since we have been home and I know that my supply is coming in. He ate for a whole 25 minutes last time. That almost triples his time on all his other feedings!

His jaundice levels are down, but the pediatrician still requested that we go in on Saturday morning to their office so that they can just take another look at him and make sure it is not returning. Thank you for your prayers. He is doing great!

Here are a few pictures from today:

I'm so glad that he is home and doing really well! Both mine have had jaundice so I totally feel ya on that one.

Glad I can keep up with you guys!

I seriously have the most precious nephew in the entire world! Welcome home sweet boy! I'm so glad he's eating so well. Way to go Cole! How funny is Maci in that last picture! She looks like she's pouting. Can't wait to see you all on Sunday!
