A little bit of Koen

Koen is now over a week old! We're settling in and enjoying his new company. Mom has been with us since we've brought him home and both Jon and I have greatly appreciated having her here. We are sad she will be heading home tomorrow morning.

Koen was tested for jaundice on Monday and had a high score. We've had to have him on a light to try to get rid of his jaundice. We found out today that his numbers are going down nicely enough that we can take him off of the light now! This means we get to hold him more often and he can sleep in his own bed!!! Mom will probably greatly appreciate that tonight. She's had to sleep right next to Koen these last nights while he lays on a bed with a bright blue light glowing. Tonight, she won't have the light shining right next to her and Koen will hopefully sleep a little more sound now since he can sleep in a softer bed. Koen definitely has a wonderful grandma! She's been extremely helpful.

Here's a few pictures:

Those last two are absolutely precious, i love him! you're so lucky you got to have mom with you a whole week! I'm happy to hear his numbers lowered and can finally get out from under that light. I don't think I'd even like that constantly, and I like tanning ;) ha.

I would stay longer, but I know you and Jon don't really need me anymore, and its probably time that I get back to taking care of Dad.
You two are going to make great parents just by loving Koen the way you do. He's a blessed little boy, and he, along with his cousins, have blessed us too.

This answers my question about who made the comment on my blog...I'm guessing Mom didn't realize she was signed in to your account...or she really is a hacker!!! :)

Excellent pictures, Kristin! What a cutie pie he is! So glad he got to come out of the lights! I can sympathize with Mom, we had James' "tanning" bed right next to me, so bright! Not to mention when we were at the hospital, the whole room was blue!!
