Justin is Homesick

Justin is already 6 days old (as of Friday, 31 July 2009), but he is still at the hospital as he has jaundice. Justin's delivery was assisted by vacuum and as a result, he has the characteristic swelling on the head with some accumulated blood. We were informed that this extra blood is not easily processed by his yet-to-be-fully-efficient liver (or is it spleen?) and this is likely to be causing the jaundice to linger.

Angie was already discharged last Monday (27 July 2009) but she is lodging at the hospital to breastfeed Justin. She is obviously much more mobile than when she was recovering after Julian's birth via Ceasarean section :o).
