Soooo big!

Hello from the birthday boy- Kieran is 1 week old today! We haven't got an accurate scale, but we are pretty sure he's getting bigger- just look at that tiny owl! Sure, sure some of that is because he's all stretched out but he's definitely growing- this newborn outfit was rather snug- probably the last time he'll wear it!
Other good news, his biliruben is going down and now we can take him off his bili-blanket! Whoo-hoo! Now we aren't tied to that horrible box!
What a little cutie!

St. Patrick's Day and a trip to the Dr.

Happy St. Patrick's day everyone! Today, Kieran made his second trip- to the doctor's office once again. We are happy to report that he is gaining weight and his bilirubin levels are dropping- slowly. He has to continue to wear his light blanket until at least Thursday at which point he will get stuck again for another blood test- poor thing! But at least things are moving in the right direction now. Otherwise, life is pretty quiet around here- we busted out the super cute St. Pat's bib from Auntie Joyce for a picture but then it was back to just a diaper and the glow-worm sack!

Kieran days 3-5

Here are a few new pics of baby Kieran. We had a visit from Rick's grandmother, Aunt and mom yesterday which was a lot of fun- especially for Kieran who loves to be held!
Of course everyone agreed that Kieran was the cutest baby ever!

As you can see Rick is a natural at this dad thing and very proud as well!

The pic of glowing Kieran is his billy-blanket under a swaddler, designed to help him fight off jaundiced- we thought he looked like the perfect little glow-worm!
