17th Tuesday weigh-in


227.0 lb

Yikes. Gain of 3 lb.. It has been a busy few days here. But I did make time to weigh myself and exercise today at least. I didn't plan well what I was going to eat at the hospital while Rebecca was recovering so I ended up eating the food in the cafeteria which is chicken fried steak and french fries with gravy, or bacon, eggs, toast etc.. I do think most of my gain was water retention from eating too much salt (damn delicious chips). I need to drink more water this week. I did about 120 oz of water today alone. I stayed off soda for the most part, having it on Wednesday and Saturday only. I definitely ate too much candy. Maybe I am just a sugar-aholic. If I don't get soda, then I crave candy or vice versa.

Picture is Jameson taking in some simulated sun in the hopes we don't have to get a bilirubin light. He has failed the bilirubin test three times now. He has another blood test tomorrow and I want it to be the last test. I mean what is the point of tests if doctors are not going to accompany the results with some treatment options? It is the almost the equivalent of saying, "Thanks for driving your child here over the dangerous roads and spending45 minutes in the hospital waiting room full of sick/disturbed people with your infant. Here, have him take this blood test... Oh, your boy failed it, come back tomorrow to take it again. By the way, that will be $45 for:
  1. wasting two hours of your life,
  2. stabbing your son's foot, and
  3. milking drops of blood from him for 10 minutes."

You crack me up. I hope that light works and the bilibox isn't in your future. I never understood the failed test thing with no treatment!

Sorry about the gain. Ugh. I am a candy addict as well. I hate it.

And I thought that J had somehow gained 3 lbs in a week! I couldn't believe it! Then I realized that dad was worrying.

Thanks for posting pictures, I LOVE THEM!
