Home time
Kento was checked again this morning. Having put on some weight since yesterday, we were all able to leave.
Enjoying the sights, sounds and smells of first-time parenthood. Progress on the vegetable garden and other ramblings of a gaijin in Japan’s least populous prefecture.
Kento was checked again this morning. Having put on some weight since yesterday, we were all able to leave.
There is a strong chance the doctors will want to keep Kento (and my wife) in for the next two weeks. If he can put some more weight on overnight then maybe we can all go home tomorrow.
I held him for the first time on Thursday. Had a day of phototherapy has he had jaundice - high bilirubin.
This morning at 8:10 my wife delivered our baby. He was a scant 2318 grams and is in an incubator at the moment.
We have named him 憲都 (Kento).
