Nathan's Check-up

Nathan had a check-up today to check his bilirubin (jaundice) levels.  He was at 8.6 when we left the hospital Wednesday and the doctor just wanted to make sure it wasn't going too high.  She said at 4 days old it usually peaks and then will gradually go down.  Today it came back at 11.3.  The doctor said that it was a good level seeing how he was 4 days old today and it only went up a few points.  He also got his weight checked and he weighed 8lbs, 4oz.  When we left the hospital he was weighing 7lbs, 15oz so she was happy to see that he had gained all he lost back and then a little.  He checked out great today and we go back the 22nd for his 2 week visit.
