Just thought I would give you a quick update. Yesterday we took Mason to the pediatrician for a check up and he is doing well. We weighed him and he weighs 6# 8 oz. which is what he weighed when we left the hospital. So he hasn't gained any weight but the doctor said that he has until he is 2 weeks old to be back up to his birth weight. So we have one more week to fatten him up a little. But they are not to worries yet. And his jaundice is doing much better. We did not have to do lights thank goodness. He is still eating well but nursing has become more than uncomfortable. the last two days it has been beyond painful. So the pediatrician thought it might be a yeast infection on my breasts, so she gave me a prescription for a nystatin cream and nystatin drops for Mason. She said that in 24-48 hours I would start to feel better. And it's been 24 hours since we started it and I already feel somewhat better. I have been able to breast feed him tonight the last 2 feedings. But since late last night and today I just pumped and fed him a bottle. It was so painful I couldn't even nurse him. But He has switched back and forth pretty well. And Today I also had to go to my doctor because I thought my c-section incision was coming open. But I went in and fortunately everything was okay. I just have to go back in to see him in one week so he can check it out again.We are doing very well. Mason is such a good baby. He is very calm and is just such a sweet boy. He loves to snuggle. I just love him so much. I am glad that he is a part of our crazy family. :) Right now Mason and I are missing Kysen and Kayden. They are in Las Vegas with their dad for a few more days. I really miss them but it has been somewhat nice to have a little break And I have been able to bond with my new baby a little more. It will be nice though when the boys get home.Well I will try to post again soon in the next few days. You all know how busy it gets sometimes with a new baby. I will post some new pic's also.
