Jack is continuing to get VIP treatment in the special care nursery. Today the doctor put the little guy back in the incubator. He is still doing a good job regulating his body temperature, but has jaundice so they put him in the incubator with several very bright lights.
Because of this he was to wear a mask over his eyes. To keep the mask on, they stuck heart shaped pieces of velcro on his temple that attach to the mask. He looks like his mom when she goes to bed.
And under the blue light you can easily see his body hair. Like his dad, he has a nice coat on his shoulders and back. This does not make mom happy, but unlike his dad's, at least Jack's will go away soon.
He has had a couple of developmental hiccups over the last 24 hours, including breathing and losing too much weight, but is still doing pretty well for someone who arrived so early. We are still hoping to bring him home this week.
