This morning was a happy morning. It was the morning when Grace and Bryan were coming home. But it took a hospital a few hours to process paperwork, to book Bryan’s next pediatric appointment and just to make sure everything else was done.
Bryan almost had to stay for additional observation because of his increasing level of jaundice. Damn Asian babies with their yellow skins… The doc said Asian babies typically have higher levels of jaundice, but it’s nothing to worry about (yet). He also suggested to expose him to some sunlight to help reduce the level of jaundice. Another thing was to feed him plenty of milk, which in turn will help reduce the level of jaundice as well.
Tomorrow is Bryan’s first pediatric appointment… We’ll see.
Tonight will be my first physical endurance test with Bryan at home. It won’t be long until I get the Panda eyes myself.
A side note: Grace is finally starting to produce some foremilk. It contains highly saturated nutrients and antibodies for the baby. The exact composition of the foremilk is not perfectly understood yet. But virtually everyone agrees that it’s crucial stuff for the baby’s health and immune system, even as s/he grows beyond infancy.
