So we went to the Doctor's appointment today and found out little Jay's weight is at 8 lbs 4 ounces!! Yay!! Thats a huge improvement for a week and half ago where he was at 7 lbs! So he's gained 1 lb 4 ounces in a week which the doctor was very happy about. His jaundice levels are continuing to drop and were estimated at a 9. We did find out that little Jay Jay does have reflux and thus were given some medicine to help with the issue. Also I have had him on a three hour schedule during the day to feed since he's such a sleepy head but have found that he's having to wake up a lot at night to get his 8-11 feedings in so I've decided to switch to a 2 1/2 hour schedule and see if that makes an improvement. Fingers crossed hoping it works. He slept much better last night with only waking up twice in the middle of the night! Yay!! Don't know if I can credit the medicine or his eating schedule for that but whatever it was I'm extremely happy about it! And finally here are a few more pictures of my baby!

Adorable! I hope everything continues to improve!
So glad that Jay is feeling better and that you are getting a bit more sleep. Those first few weeks sure are exhausting!
