Jack Update: We took Jack to the doctor today because we think he may have/be jaundiced. Doctor was unsure but thinks he might be so we then took him to get his little foot pricked for a blood test. Jaundice is not serious and is easily treated. We go back on Monday for his first checkup. He weighed 6 pounds, 14 ounces, down from his birth weight of 7 pounds, 11 ounces. But that's normal.
I never thought Jack was eating a lot so we tried something different last night. Sarah pumped and we fed him breast milk with a bottle. He seems to prefer it, he woke up almost every three hours exactly through the night and we fed him and he was out like a light right afterwards. He went almost 24 hours without pooping but this morning righted that ship. He pooped and pooped, probably four or five times in a row and I just kept putting a new paper towel under him.
