Jackson Robert

Wow! Its been a long time since I have updated our blog. I have to say though, it seems like just yesterday that I was walking around, wishing our little man would be born. Yet, its been 6 weeks since Jackson Robert entered this world. He arrived on January 12, 2010 at 2:31 pm, after 12 hours of being at the hospital. The delivery seemed long but the recovery really was worse than the labor. It took quite some time to feel "human" again. Jack was 8 lbs, 6 oz and 19 inches long. Much bigger than anyone guessed. Ironically however, he still seemed so tiny! My mom was able to spend our first 6 days once home from the hospital with us. It was so nice to have her here. She spent most of the days snuggling with Jack and she taught us how to give him a bath. It was reassuring to have her (the most experienced mom I know) around. I sat in the car and cried after dropping her off at the airport because I wasn't sure how Jack and I would do just the two of us all day. She told me, "You've been a mom since you were 5, you'll be fine." I guess you learn by doing, by screwing up, by trying again. Believe me, I learn something everyday about being a mom.
Here are a few pictures of baby Jackson - I am so in love!!!

    You have been a mom your whole life- You will be just fine! I hear the little man is a tad bit fussy. Aislin was the same way. I laid off all dairy and it did see to help. Believe it or not, it will fly by. Just take it day by day, hour by hour, minute by minute if you have to. There were times when I put the baby down, and simply walked away and prayed and cried for a few minutes to get a grip. Fussy babies are difficult, even when you love them more than anything you have ever imagined. If you want free babysitting, let us know- we can be there in 2 hours! :) We love you!
