Week One

Talon and I came home from the hospital on May 10th, the day after Mother's Day. ;-)


We were very happy to have Nana stay with us for Talon's first week home. She was a big help and since Mommy was very emotional, it was nice to have Nana there to talk to all the time. Thanks for listening Mama!


Talon developed Jaundice while in the hospital. I didn't realize that Jaundice develops due to the different blood types between the mother and baby. Since I'm O negative and Talon is A positive, it causes Talon's blood to create too many red blood cells, which tints the skin yellow. It takes good eating and pooping to get the Talon's kidneys functioning properly to get rid of the Jaundice.

You can see in this pic how yellow his skin is. I even had one of the nurses ask me if his father was Mexican! LOL

We followed up with Talon's Dr. a few days after the hospital stay and his Jaundice was getting better! Whew. He said he would still have the yellow tint for a few weeks though.


I just love little baby toes!



And little baby hands!

Looks like Daddy already has a painting buddy.

PaPa Jim and Bebe (who now live in Tucson, AZ) visited for a few days.

I'm loving dressing Talon up in little boy outfits. hee hee
