owens issues!

Owen has jaundice! it was pretty bad so he had to do light therapy. for those of you who dont know what that is, it is a really horrible way to get rid of jaundice. they have to sit under this light box for 15 hours a day. i could only take him out to feed him and change his diapers. after the second day of this i decided i am not going to put him through this anymore and so we took him out. i put him in the sun a couple times a day and now his jaundice is going away on its own. we get to hold him and take him out of the house and i love it. i hated not being able to bond with him! oh, he sleeps so good! he slept all night last night. i had to wake him up two times to feed him and he fell right to sleep after i was done. and scarlett has been sleeping really good lately too. i keep asking myself "how did i get two amazing kids!?

Boston had jaundice really bad too. We had to take him back to the hospital and put him in the lights for two days. They almost gave him an IV too and the nurse said, well he doesn't have brain damage. A nurse should never say that!!! I cried the whole time. It's hard to see them looking like a little bug and not being able to hold them! I'm glad he is better. How are you feeling?
