Yesterday we spent alot of the day at my Grandma's house. They only give her a few days to live so alot of family spent some time there and we had a dinner together. In the afternoon I called the pediatrician and told them that Adam looked jaundice and hadn't had any bowel or urine in his diaper since 2am. Also the wet diapers so far had a red/orange spot in them. They wanted us to bring him in right away. The doctor told us to supplement with formula til my milk came in. The red/orange spot is a sign of dehydration. We also needed to pick up infant suppositories. They recommended we lay him in sunlight through a window. They weighed him and his weight had gone down to 8lbs 12.9 oz. They wanted to see him tomorrow for a recheck.

Adam slept from 1am til 5am so I woke him up to nurse him and Jared then fed him his bottle. He fell back asleep and lay with Jared on the couch. I watched I Love Lucy and cleaned up the house a little. At 7:30 I looked in Jacob's room to see if he was awake. He was just laying in bed quietly. He was happy to get up and ran right to Daddy on the couch. I took Adam and Jacob lay with Daddy for a little bit. We lay Adam in the sunlight and Jacob came over to point out his nose, ears, mouth, and eyes. Daddy took Jacob outside and together they rode on the riding lawn mower and raked up the grass in the yard and dumped it in the garden. Jacob had so much fun. When they came back inside it was time for lunch. Jacob took a nap at my Grandma's house while we took Adam to his doctors appointment. Adam looked much better today and his weight was up to 9 lbs 3 oz. After today he is to go back to just breastfeeding. Jacob learned how to do a summersault today and was going all around the room showing off his new talent.
