Emerson is One Month Old!

Our little guy is one month old! He's getting so big so fast! He's a great little sleeper. He sleeps 5-7 hours at night. He loves his brothers! In fact sometimes when he's fussy he'll stop crying if Ricky holds him! His belly button is finally healing thank goodness! He went to the hospital to have his levels checked again for jaundice. They were 10.4, which is still high. But they are coming down, so that is what is important. The doctor said it is from breastfeeding and could take 6-8 weeks for it to work itself out. We tease that he is going to start a group called the "Yellow Man Group"! We think he is having some trouble with his reflux. He coughs, gags, and chokes frequently. He spits up occassionally out of his nose, but he isn't a big vomiter. He mostly chokes on it - this is called "silent reflux". We have been monitoring it, but think we will be starting medication pretty soon. We still don't see a lot of his personality yet, but he seems pretty laid back. His brothers adore him! We all do!

Emerson's first tear! I wish I could make it his last!!
