Recap of Jackson's First Days at Home

BUSY! well I may be exaggerating... we may be spoiled and just not know it. Little man only fusses when he's hungry or randomly at night sometimes once Brent is home from work. Our pediatrician gave us a summary of newborn-1 month characteristics and it said that most cry on average 4 hours per day. I would say that Jackson may hit 30 minutes a day so we are fortunate. This little guy loves to poop and pee. He generally eats every 3 hours. He nurses well and takes a bottle. He loves his soothie passie. We originally only had 2 and I literally cried one night when we misplaced one. Come to find out it had fallen down in my shirt... crazy mom! Jackson loves to sit in his little lamb. We currently have little lamb and his pack-n-play in our living room. He naps well in both. Big brother Charlie has adjusted well. He loves to "protect" Jackson. I swear he wants to eat up every person that rings our doorbell (which has been a lot since Jackson arrived). He's had countless visitors. No one seems to be able to get enough cuddle time (neither can mom).

As for me... I've been feeling okay. I've had a few days where I've had a temperature and some issues with feeding. The c-section recovery has been great though. I also went back to the dr for my blood pressure and they said it was better. I'll know more when I go for my 6 week check-up. I'm beginning to look a lot more like my old self. I'm astonished at how quick the first part of the weight fell off. I'm sure I'll hit the point where the last pounds just stick until I'm able to exercise. Although I cannot imagine finding time to be able to do that... how do working moms fit that in?!?!

Brent has adjusted to being back at work pretty well. Poor guy...he's in bed by 10 each night. I think we've worn him out. I try to keep Jackson as quiet as possible during the night so Brent can rest but sometimes he hears us through the monitor.

Here are a few cute pictures...
