Jackson has been a busy boy the last two weeks! He is growing and eating and eating and eating! Ha! Breastfeeding is still going good and my supply is somehow keeping up with his demand! He is still sleeping pretty good with the exception of two nights that weren't so good...He is staying awake for longer hours during the day and he loves to cuddle! We have had lots of visitors and he loves for anyone to hold him. He would sleep all day in someone's arms if I let him! Vance went back to work last Thursday and my mom left Sunday so its just me and the little man now. I am really enjoying the time alone with him. I'm already dreading going back to work even though its still 6 (or hopefully more) weeks away. I just can't imagine him going to daycare. I mean they will hold him and cuddle with him... right? I can't even think about it...We had two doctor's appointments today. The first was with the Audiologist. Jackson did not pass the hearing screening at the hospital so we were referred for further testing. After lots of prayer, we found out that Jackson can hear! What a relief! He can hear better in his right ear but hopefully he just has fluid in his left ear and that will clear up later. We also went to his 2 week appointment at his pediatrician. He is back up to his birth weight. This is great news to hear for breastfeeding because it means he is getting enough milk from me and does not need any supplements. He has also grown an inch! I can't believe that...Vance and I feel so grateful that God has blessed us with this precious baby and are amazed how he already has us wrapped around his tiny little finger. I never knew I could love someone so much in such a short amount of time! Here are some pictures of Jackson over the last week.
1 Week Old
This is Jackson with his cousin Brooks. Brooks is exactly 10 weeks older than Jackson. I cannot believe how much Brooks has grown! Aren't they sweet lying there together?! It is going to be so much fun watching these boys grow up together. I'm sure they will be more like brothers than cousins.
The proud mamas with their sweet boys!
The happiest grandparents in the entire world!
Sweet Little Brooks!
Me playing with my camera...I just love those fat cheeks!
