Time Flies
Well, we're home. Came home Sunday, after it looked like his jaundice was improving. Had a follow-up blood test this morning, and then the first pediatrician's visit, where it was confirmed that he was definitely on Ye Olde Road to Recoverie. Yay! If it hadn't been, we would have had to put him back under the lights, like he was some sort of exotic orchid. My son, a hothouse flower no more. Here he is undergoing treatment, where they forced him to wear goggles resembling those of Spaceman Spiff:
It's not a look I approve of for him. Which means he'll be wild about it when he's fifteen.
At any rate, I've also discovered my sense of time is totally skewed. Blink, it's three hours later. Of course, I was awake in the middle of last night changing and feeding the little guy, so that might have had something to do with the distortion. Or it just could be our new favorite activity:
Clearly babies have mysterious powers to warp spacetime.

Then you blink again, and you're celebrating the first birthday. It's scary...
I'm glad everyone is home and doing well. And don't worry, I'm told you catch up on the sleep in another 3 or 4 years.

Awww. You all look so happy, even while you're sleeping. As my mom would say, "It warms the cockles of my heart." :)

Welcome to the world, Ian. You're going to have a great time here.
Congratulations to you, Lisa and Jon!! Hope you get some sleep soon. The good news is that 5 hours will soon seem like a lot of sleep. ;)

Welcome to what I like to call: Child Induced Time Compression. Before you know he'll be 1 then 2 then 15. Good luck Jon.
