We beat jaundice! When we were at the hospital, Oliver was developing some pretty good jaundice readings. Apparently, since Renee's blood type is O Positve and Oliver got his dad's A Positive blood, that's a pretty bad match up for jaundice. He had a yellow hue while we were at the hospital, and his initial screenings were pretty bad. But they decided to wait a few days and our pediatrician would get a closer look at him today when we got there. But we went to our appointment today (which was at 8 AM--seriously, who schedules parents with six days of parenting experience to be somewhere at 8 AM???) and the doctor said he was looking great, and unless he takes a serious turn for the worse, we are in the clear as far as jaundice is concerned. It was quite a weight lifted from us. And we got this good news after our first night of relatively restful sleep! When things go well, they seem to really go well.And apparently we are opting for what Dr. Sears would refer to as the "family bed":
