I can't believe how fast time is going by. The kids seem to be adjusting okay, Madyson had a rough week around week 3, she was rebelling and acting out a lot which is not like her. The boys haven't seemed to be bothered too much by him or all the attention we are giving Decklan, which is nice. The first week home mom was was here and she was such a big help. We were at the doctors almost every single day. Decklan got really yellow and was Jaundice for about a week. His levels got to 19.2 which is pretty high, they want them around 10-12 I believe. So he was put on lights and had to stay in the little bed all day for Sunday, Monday and half of Tuesday when they finally said he could be off the lights. It was so hard to let him just lay in the bed and not be snuggled or held. The second week my mom was gone and James only took 2 days off and Jayden went of track!! It was a little crazy but we made it through okay. Not much happened in the second week except his umbilical cord fell off so we were able to give him a real bath, which is so much easier and nicer than a sponge bath!! In week 3 he started to be awake more often and got a cold and we are hoping it stays just a cold and he doesn't get RSV! Last week was hi4th week and he turned 1 month old. He sometimes is awake for 4 or more hours at once, which seems crazy to me. He has started to become a little cranky at night for a couple hours, we are really hoping that stops soon. I need my sleep!! He is having a hard time going to the bathroom which isn't fun, I just feel so bad for him cause he gets so uncomfortable. I am hoping that gets better with time. Decklan is such a good baby and is waking up every 3 hours to eat, but goes right back to sleep after eating (thankfully). We are so glad he joined our family and I love him so much, I always want to be holding him :)
