Good-Bye Glow Baby!

After a quick trip to the hospital to have Aiden's billiruben test taken and after the Christmas tree was picked out, we headed over to the doctors office for his first check-up. 

He was such a good boy on the drive over and very well-behaved while we were in the office. He seemed pretty thrilled to be in a room that wasn't in our house as he was wide-eyed and looking all around the room while we waited for the doctor to come in.

The results from the earlier test were in and we got the great news that his billiruben number is much lower today! This means the Wallaby light did it's job and we can say goodbye to Glow Baby.

Aiden's stats
5 DAYS OLD
WEIGHT: 8 lbs 9 oz (3 oz over his birth weight)
HEIGHT:  21 inches (3/4" longer)
BILLIRUBEN: 12.3 (down from 15.9)

Here's a few shots of Aiden at the doc's office. You can still see a light yellow hue to his skin but that will be going away over the next few days.
