After only a few days home, Bennett decided that he liked the hospital better so he celebrated his one week birthday in the hospital under the tanning lights. He was readmitted for jaundice and spent almost 24 hours chilling under the lights. The good news--he came out a much less "yellow" child. Also, since he left the hospital for the second time he a whole lot less lethargic and actually eats now. At his low point he was down to 5lbs and 10 oz! We are hoping at his doctors appointment this week that he has broken 6lbs again. All in all I think he had a wonderful time in his warm tanning bed, but lets hope his love of hospitals has been satisfied. (Sleeping in the hospital is not so easy for those of us older than a week!)

I remember Abi having to do the same thing. Juli came to visit and made Abi a little cap. I was so nervous but it all worked out. I am glad he's eating better for you. Hugs to the new cutie tootie parents!
Melanie! It's Bri (aka Breezy). Congratulations to you and Kev on Bennett! He's adorable and looking crazy cool with his "shades." Good luck with everything! Let's keep in touch. Love you guys!
He looks so cute in his little bed. I'm sorry you guys had to go back and spend some more time in the hospital but I'm glad you caught it. I hope he keeps up the good work eating!
gotta love going back to the hospital! He looks very cute, even in the tanning beds!
Hope that's the last of the yellow you'll see.
love these pictures - maybe it's a sign that he'll be a tanner (yes, it's a word today) lounging on those white sands that Hawaii beaches are famous for.
