More wet and dirty diapers, please.

It's not often that you want dirty diapers, but for us it means that Asher is getting enough to eat and that he is clearing the bilirubin in his system.  The first night at home, we were getting up every 15 minutes to feed him.  His appetite came before his mother's milk arrived.  He did not make any dirty diapers the first night.  While he was in the hospital, he dropped from 7 lbs 13 oz to 7 lbs 6 oz which is normal, but then dropped further to 7 lbs even.  Yesterday, we went to the pediatrician and found out that he dropped even further to 6 lbs 12 oz.  At this point we were even more concerned, but the pediatrician came up with a plan that included pumping and supplementing with formula.  Last night we combined breast feeding and formula to top him off.  He was able to sleep for two hours between feedings and make 3 wet and poopy diapers.  We were happy to be disturbed by crying, because we knew he was getting healthier with each feeding and dirty diaper.  This morning we took him to the pediatrician for a weight check and are happy to report that he is up to 7 lbs 2 oz.

Mommy and Asher time.
