Feeling normal

Thank you to everyone for your advice on the clogged duct. I am happy to report that it is all cleared up and Jack is feeding well on both sides now. I'm starting to feel a little bit normal again, as in I can feel like doing things again. I thought you'd like to see more pictures of our little guy.

I love the color yellow so I had to get some pics before I changed his clothes.

Here's his mug shot

Here's my boys! For once Garrett is sleeping while Jack is awake.

Thursday night we had Grandma come over and give Jack his first sponge bath at home. It's kind of become tradition to have Grandma do the first bath. He seemed to enjoy it more than most newborns would.

Jack had his first doctor appointment on Monday and he is as healthy as can be. We are so blessed to have no complications with this baby. I really just wanted to enjoy this one. Jack also had his circumcision done on Wednesday and he weighed 8lbs 9 oz at that visit(he gained 1 oz since his Monday visit). Now that he is feeding well I am starting to stretch out the feeding time at night and hopefully soon he'll be sleeping thru the night. Of course last night he ended up waking me up before my alarm did. Maybe he's having a little growth spurt now to gain the weight back that he lost. I'm also very happy that Jack has been my best nursing baby. It only took him a week to get the hang of it as opposed to Nikki taking 2 months! Garrett never got the chance since they bottle fed him in the hospital and it ruined everything. But we were stressed out enough with Garrett having surgery anyway, that we didn't want to try too hard.

But everything is going well now. For all those who are wondering how they can help me after Curtis leaves, I'll have to let you know how things are. I think I will mostly just need a break from the kids sometimes and have some company. And someone to watch the kids when I need to go to the store. Thank you everyone for your continued support and help offers!
