Luke is One Week Old!

Luke is one week old today.  We are all doing well, but I would like to ask that you pray for him as he has developed jaundice.  His levels were fine leaving the hospital, but at his newborn appointment on Monday, they sent us back over to the hospital to have them retested.  They were borderline, so we fed him like crazy (hoping to flush out as much as we could) and went back 24 hours later.  They have dropped, but the doctor still wants us to go back tomorrow to make sure they're falling rapidly enough.  He is so very, very sleepy and difficult to wake when it's time to feed him.  It often takes me 45 minutes to an hour to get 15 minutes worth of feeding into him.  Considering I'm aiming for once every 2.5 hours during the day and 3-3.5 at night, you can imagine it's been a long couple of days!  Still, we are getting a decent amount of rest and Audrey is handling things remarkably well.  Her sleep hasn't been disturbed at all and though we've had a few bad behavior incidents, I wouldn't call any of them out of the ordinary for her 2.5 year old self! Pray all that continues and that his levels fall and he becomes a more alert eater.  And yes, pray for poop.  How often do you get a request like that?!
