John Curtis

We are so happy that John is here. He was born on the 14th and he weighed 6.15 (one ounce more then Clara) and was 20 inches long (one inch shorter.) I think he is good looking and a sweetheart. The delivery went so well. However, by Sunday he had a high levels of bilirouben in his blood and was taken to pediatrics to be put under the bili-lights. I was discharged Sunday at midnight. Monday morning was terrible. I was achy, weepy, exhausted and put into a closet/cave all alone with my son looking all blue because of the lights. Mom rescued me my noon and by that evening I was rested enough to feed him properly. Drama is still continuing. Today his level is still high and we will have to get it checked again. I love John so much and I am very grateful for all the help we have received.

He really is a beautiful baby. I am sorry that there has been so much drama since his birth. I am sure you are grateful mom is there to help you and Kelly. I love the picture of Clara with him at the hospital. Very sweet. I am glad to see more pictures of him.

Oh, you answered all my questions! New baby emotions are the worst and to have health hurdles to cross makes it even harder. Just remember to hang in there and that every tough day is one you'll never have to do again.
