We took Braden into the pediatrician yesterday to check on his heart murmur and possible jaundice. His heart sounded good and the murmur was not there anymore!!! Thank goodness. The pediatrician sent us to the hospital for lab work to check on jaundice because he was a little bit yellow. We had the blood drawn (he fell asleep through it and never cried!) and the doctor just called with the results! His bilirubin levels were 10.9 which is normal for a newborn and she said that he does not have jaundice! So happy that my little man is healthy! He has also gained weight already and has surpassed his birth weight. At birth he was 6lbs 10oz, when we left the hospital he was 6lbs 9oz and at 4 days he was 6lbs 13 oz (with clothes, so she guesses he is actually 6lbs 11oz).
We take him back for his "2 week" appointment on Tuesday of next week.
