2nd Dr's Appt

So Brayden had his 2nd Dr's appt yesterday mostly for a weight check and a jaundice check! Thankfully both were positive outcomes! No more jaundice (besides a little in his eyes which is normal) and he is gaining weight, WOO HOO!!! The bad things are he has a little tiny diaper rash which thankfully we caught early, so it will hopefully be going away soon! Seems like we can never change enough diapers! As soon as we change one, its time for another one! Thats a good sign the Dr said, means he is eating good :)! Also, Brayden has a slight case of thrush, a yeast infection in his mouth which is pretty common for newborns as well. The Dr. prescribed some medication for it, which we have to put in his mouth 4 times a day! The pharmacist warned us that it tastes horrible, but when I did his first two treatments yesterday, he slept right through them! We'll pray for continued success ;)! Also, I am getting treated for it too, just so we dont pass it back and forth to each other during feeding. Thankfully it doesnt cause him any pain or discomfort for the most part, and he is still such an easy going little guy! Let's us know when he wants or needs something and sleeps a lot :)!

Mike has been able to have leave for the week which has been SUCH a huge blessing and none of us are ready for him to go back to work on Monday. The week went by way too fast, that is for sure! It's definetely one of the most beautiful things ever to watch your husband become a Dad, he loves his son SO much!!!!

Other than that, not a whole lot to report! Brayden's umbilical cord stump is just about ready to fall off, which will make bathing him a whole lot easier! Also, he has his two week checkup this week, and we are looking forward to that too! Hopefully Daddy gets to come to the appt!

Well, I hear the little man waking up and I should go in there and lay with him, see if I cant catch him with his eyes open (Which he is doing more often these days Grandpa Kraft ;0) )!

Love to you all!

P.S. We are still working at/looking into a private blog. There are some problems with the way blogger has privatization set up so we are looking at another site to use to do our blog, that has one password for everyone to use, that requires no one to "sign-up" for anything, and makes it so only the people we give our password out too can see our blog. I'm going to be working on that this week, and will of course let you all know when we change anything!
