The first 7 days...

We made it through our first week, but not without a couple of hiccups. 
The big issue for the week is if Maddox need to be admitted to the hospital because of jaundice, luckily his Serum Bilirubin Level went down from 250 to 236 in just 2 days, so our little Dragon Baby need not to spend a day or two at the hospital. we knew what to expect this time around since Mason went through this before and its very heart aching leaving your bundle of joy at the hospital under photo therapy.


So now we are back to normal life!
Maddox is a pretty good sleeper. He gives us 3-4 hour stretches at night. He very rarely cries unless you're changing his diaper. Overall, he's just the sweetest little thing!! I just love him to death! 

On another note, Mason has been up & down since we've been home. On one hand, he's so sweet with his little brother. If he sees Maddox he will run around do something to help us or let Maddox feel better by tapping his head. Mason is very interested in him, and will give him hugs and kisses. We're just working on being gentle and soft :-)

Happy Birthday Maddox Riley

A baby boy was created by the hand of God above

to give the world the sweetest touch of tenderness and love.
With the softness of a whisper, God made a baby's skin
and then designed two trusting eyes to put the starlight in.
With giggles from a waterfall and breezes passing by,
God made a baby's laughter and a tiny, sleepy sigh.
God made the world a precious gift more dear and pure than gold,
with little toes to play with  and tiny hands to hold
then brought into the sunshine a precious baby boy
All wrapped up in a rainbow of wonder, hope, and joy.
