It has been a whirlwind of a last 5 days.  But Mom and Mags are slumbering peacefully downstairs as I write this...yes we decided to go ahead a keep the little guy...and name him Magnus George.  Grand Mo wasn't so happy about the Magnus part but has since caved a bit as the George part was to honor her late father. 

It turns out that Mags was a little jaundiced, well more than a little jaundiced, enough so that he needed to be sent home with this funky contraption called a biliblanket.  It's light therapy to help process the bilirubin and get it out of his system by way of poop (which we are now terming "Make Big" thanks to Oma).  It sounds simple enough, cram a large rectangle pad up his onsie for just 22 hours a day and then make big to poop away the bad bilirubin...oh and go back to the hospital everyday and poke another hole in his heel and squeeze enough blood out to see if we have to start the process all over again.  Not so fun...but it all seems worth it since in my admittedly biased opinion he is just so flippin' adorable.




Stop by the shop in a few weeks to decide for your self.

Before I forget...one last thing, I have to say a huge thanks to so many people for their support and kind wishes.  There are a few I want to thank by name: 

Erica, Logan, Candy and David, Connie, Jan and Steve (and whoever at Zazio's that made the garganelli possible), Linda S, Mary Ann, Susan C, My Torrent Colleagues (Domestic and Abroad). 

Last but not least, thank you Mom, Kelly and I are very blessed to have you as a part of our lives.

Oops I took to long to write this...sounds like the little guy just made big...
