Holy crap what a night. We got to leave the hospital and come home last night around 8pm. This was just about 2 hours after his circumcision. The doctor was going to do that early morning Wednesday, but since Ronan was having a hard time learning the sucking motion, he wasn't eating very much and had a bit of Jaundice. We got him eating throughout the day, and by 5:30pm the doc came back and did the slice and dice. ($#%@$%! OUCH!!!)
When we got home, Ronan was zonked out from riding in the car so we 'thought' we were in for a nice night. How wrong we were. He decided that diapers are there for a reason, and each time we put a new one on him, he would poop. Now this wouldn't be too much of a problem, but having to put stuff on his peep each time made it take twice as long. (Give us a break we're new at this and aren't very fast with the diaper "pit-stop") After about 4 double surprises, we got him to sleep for a few hours.
Kim was back up early and feeding, and after a nice mommy session, both Kim and Ronan zonked out for a couple hours. Now, not thinking, I decided that it was my fatherly duty to stay awake in case someone needed something. Wow... wrong. Just as those two were waking up, I turned into a zombie.
Today's new experience is the poor fit of newborn Parents Choice Diapers. Three times today Ronan has wizzed and soaked his back. First time was just an undershirt, second time was was undershirt sleeper and blanket, and just about an hour ago was another undershirt. If anyone has any advice on them we'd sure take it. We're about to donate two packs of them and buy some Pampers like he had at the Hospital. Sheesh...

HATE HATE HATE Parents choice diapers! If you want to go cheaper go with Target otherwise invest in some Pampers. Also, make sure his Peep is pointing down and you will find that he wont leak out as much. Also, he may need smaller diapers or make sure his diapers are on tight! Jacob was good at that too! Also, poop = less jaundice. You want him to poop out all that bilirubin to lower his numbers! So GOOD JOB RONAN! His pics are great and sleep when he sleeps! Best advice ever!
Love you guys!
