So today has been a good day. In fact, a great day. We went to see Jonathan's doctor this morning for his 1 week weight check and he now weighs... 7lbs 6 oz. That is almost a half pound more than his birth weight and 13oz more than he was on last Monday. We then got our lab slip and went over to the lab to have his little heel poked again. We waited all day long for the results. At about 5:15 this afternoon, we got the call that his bili count went from 20.5 yesterday to 15.5 today. That is a good drop and an indicator that we are getting past the jaundice issue. The best part is that he doesn't have to be on the Bili Blanket all the time. We got to take the dogs for his first walk this evening! It was great to be out of the house and not have to stay within 5 feet of a power outlet. We have to go back to the lab on Wednesday to make sure that his count is still declining but we are happy to have a little more freedom to move! Thanks for all your prayers. Here are a couple pics of this today without the bili blanket!

yay!! Hopefully that's the last you'll have to see of the bili blanket! Now you can enjoy the beautiful spring weather. We're looking forward to seeing you guys tonight :)
He has no string to hold him down! Yea 15 is a good number when Breven got to 14 they told us he was out the worst of it. Hope you enjoy getting outside!
Woohoo! That's great news. Now you can head outside and show off your new bundle :)
Yipee! No more Bili!! I am so glad to hear that and pray that Wednesday's results are good so you can say bye bye for good!
