Yes, it's been a week, and today the doctor said his jaundice is under control. He will be yellowish for another week or two - especially the head and eyes, but he is recovering. He is an excellent eater, and that helped - apparently, eating a lot and pooping a lot cleans the system. We now call him the poop machine because he poops between and during feedings, which is basically every hour!

For now he is a really mellow baby - sleeps, eats and poops. I forgot a lot from when Luka was born, from these first few weeks - he was colicky until he was about 5 months, but I could not remember when it started. According to his doctor, this sleep-only period ends at about 3 weeks old. Then we will now how fussy he really is, and whether he will be colicky or not. So, two more weeks.

Luka is taking this change extremely well. I do try not to have Sven in my arms all the time, but even when I do have him, usually when I am feeding him, Luka is not freaking out. I also try to spend as much time with Luka as possible (when he is not in pre-school), as much as I can now that I am still recovering from surgery. And my husband has been taking him out to a park, to the movies (by the way they loved Horton hears a Who!) - as soon as I can drive and move around more, it will be easier to do things together...

On another note...
