Two Weeks Already!!

Two Weeks Old
Today Jackson is two weeks old! I can't believe how time is flying by. It has been so nice being out of the hospital and being home with him this week. Not much has changed with him since last week except for the fact that he lost his little belly button piece and is now able to take a bath in a full tub of water. He doesn't like that to much though!


We took him to the doctor today and he weighed 9 pounds and 8 ounces. Which put him in the 60th percentile. This is good considering he had lost a little and got down to 8 pounds. He was 21 and 5/8 inches long (75% percentile). Doctor Henschel said that he was perfect and that we wouldn't have to come back until he is 2 months old. The only thing that was suggested was that we change his formula because he has been fussy since we switched from breast milk to formula. A move I really didn't want to make this soon, but the medicines I am taking from being in the hospital prevents me from breastfeeding.

Mommy has has also improved! My blood pressure has been down the last couple of days and my neck pain is completely gone. I have enjoyed both my mother and mother-in-law staying with me helping me as I have been on bed rest for the past week. I am hoping to be back to my normal self by next week.

Here is a video...he's not doing much, but I know a lot of family hasn't met him yet so here he is in action. This was taken before we headed to the doctor today.
