Carter had another good day!!! He still has not pooped again. They have increased his feedings to try and jump start his intestines. He hasn't had any more green aspirate, which tells us things are starting to move. His bilirubin level increased from 3.7 yesterday to 7.3 today. They will check this again Wednesday, if it's still high he will have to go back under the light. If he poops it helps his bilirubin level go down, so we're praying for poop! =) He weighs in at 930grams or 2.1lbs. His head circumference is 24.5 cm. Carter and I had kangaroo time for an hour and forty minutes!!!! We both enjoyed it so much!
