The doctor's concerns about Bryson's billy reuben results led us to a doctor's visit the day after we came home from the hospital. It was quite a traumatic experience as they had to draw a rather large sample of blood from Bryson's very tiny foot. It was determined that his levels were increasing and he would need to do light therapy, thankfully at home.
Bryson Robert Buckert graced us with his presence at 3:29 p.m. on July 24, 2007. He was born at Hinsdale Hospital after I was induced due to high blood pressure. All 28 hours of labor were well worth it after our first glimpse of Bryson. He came out with a few screams then peacefully peed all over the nurse as she started to clean him up. He was bright eyed with wonder shortly after delivery and we enjoyed checking each other out before Nate got to hold him for the first time! Our hospital stay we brief and uneventful though on the day we left they were slightly concerned with Bryson's Billy Rueben results so they reccomended a visit to the doctor the following day for a check-up...
Choosing an outfit ahead of time for Bryson to come home in was quite the ordeal. With everyone predicting he was going to be a big baby, we had NO idea what size he would need. When we found out he'd be arriving early I made sure to have something a little smaller on hand... good thing because even that outfit was too big. Once we got him into his seat we were amazed at how small he actually was. It was all very tiring for him and he slept the whole rainy way home!! Even through a brief visit to Nicole and Justins!
