Ten billion kajillion points for mom and whomever else may have helped for coming home from the hospital to find all of the laundry clean and folded on the bed. That was so very wonderful.
And for anyone following: 2-4 day old babies have to switch on their livers to take over for what the mother's placenta had been doing, otherwise bilirubin builds up (breakdown from red blood cells). Most babies have a mild form, but Tycho's numbers got high enough to warrant sitting around under UV lights, which helps break down the bilirubin before the liver catches up. Once the lights had done their magic, there's no more treatment ever needed for that. And Tycho's numbers dropped enough the doctor said we need not even bother with a follow-up. So happy parents again.

Tycho is jaundiced so it's back to the hospital for Nathaniel, Merel and him. He's under lights for somewhere from 12 to 48 hours. Hoping for the lower number working, but will see.
Happy and content in grandma's arms after his first bath
should be an easy birthday to remember. He gets to share it with Jordan! awesome!

I've been told it-s Tycho, rhymes with Nico! He's a doll, of
course. Even had his eyes open and entertained us this
evening.

For the next hour, you can go listen to your first cousin once removed at the woodstock radio roundup. If you miss this one, I believe the show is weekly.
