6 weeks

Jackson,
   
You are 6 weeks old!

Mommy tried to put up your newborn clothes two times already but I just can't do it! You are wearing all 3 month clothes now. Mommy squeezed you into a newborn onesie yesterday and it was so tight. You are just so long! I measured you...you are 24 inches long!!

You are still in size 1 diapers. I need to get some more but I just don't know how long you will be in them. They are kinda getting tight. You are such a big boy. I am not sure how much you weigh but I bet its over 10 pounds.

Last night you scared daddy and I. Your monitor went off and it said you stopped breathing. A nurse came out today to check it. She said if you stopped breathing the low heart rate button would of lit up too. She thinks you just took a shallow breath or your sensor got moved. She downloaded the information from your box and is sending it to your doctor. Soon we will have the results back.

You are really starting to hold your head up well, but you HATE tummy time. Everything goes in your mouth. If you cant get a toy in your mouth you cry. You are not liking your play mat right now because you can not reach and grab the toys. It makes you very mad!

Today you smiled at mommy. You did a real "I love you mommy smile". It melted my heart! You made my day buddy!!


Mommy and daddy love you so much! 

XOXO

Oh my gosh looking at pictures of Jackson is like looking James right in the eye ; ) LOL! He really is a mini of his daddy! So glad to hear he is growing & thriving, continued well wishes for you and your little fam : )

What a handsome little fella! I can't believe he's 6 weeks already, time really flies!
Gorgeous smile, he has :)

Valerie said...

How has it been 6 weeks already?!?!?! He's such a cutie, Kellie. Have you noticed if he has a similar personality to Maddie yet?

I'm so happy for y'all and wish absolutely nothing but the best. Please keep the pictures coming!

Do the toys come off of his play mat? If they do you can add some of those plastic baby rings to it in a chain to lower the toys so he can reach them. :) Thats what I did with my youngest.

I think he looks just like your husband in that pic! He's adorable!

I love and commend you and your husband for using the Apnea Monitor! Jackson is so lucky for having you as parents! My son had to be on the same type of monitor and I bet I've heard every single comment you have but it doesn't matter! I wish there was more awareness about the monitors and everyone realized what a difference could be made with SIDS, etc if it became a "normal" thing for all babies! Congratulations for making a wonderful decision!!!

Just look at that precious fast. He is so cute!

My son HATED tummy time. To get his "exercise" time in without the sobbing, we would do superman with him. We would hold him by his tummy and fly him like superman. He would be much happier and still get to work on his strength!

You're so lucky to get so many pictures of him smiling! My daughter didn't smile much until she was about 2 months old, and it wasn't easy to capture it in a photo. He looks like such a happy little guy!

He is sooo adorable!!!!

Just try and remember to breathe Kellie. I know it's hard, but you need to.
Jackson couldn't be any cuter! What a handsome little guy! I'm so happy for you guys!
Praying for you always!

He is so adorable, Kellie!! I was going to comment on your previous post about the monitor, but I didn't have time. I think it is wonderful that you have Jackson on a monitor. If it was me....he would be on it until he graduated college! Ha! All joking aside, I would be scared just like you and James. He is a precious gift sent down from Maddy and you have every right to do what you need to keep him safe. And of course for your own piece of mind. As far as people giving you grief for having him on it, don't worry about it. He's your son. I love reading your blog and seeing pictures of him. What a cutie!!

Just adorable... wow.

He has your smile :-) ...my daughter didn't go for tummy time at all! Dr. Said holding them on your chest and head on shoulder counts for tummy time! He is such a cutie :-)

BlondMommy said...

Im not sure what brand diapers you buy, but huggies used to sell a size 1-2 diapers, which is a nice "transition" diaper when they are a little big for size 1, but a little small for size 2.

Praying for you all!

Hey Kellie! Just saw your twitter update, but I don't have an account so I thought I would write to you here. I took "More Milk Plus" by Mother Milk and I took the liquid form. It tastes AWFUL, but a friend told me it goes through your system faster than the pills. I noticed an increase in my supply about a week or so after starting and once my supply was up enough I quit taking it. I think I had to take a dose every 3-4 hours but couldn't eat or drink anything for 20 minutes after taking it. Hope this helps, if not hopefully your doctor can help out! Sending good thoughts your way girl!!!

Kellie- I was nominated by a fellow blogger for the versatile blogger award. I had to blog about it then nominate 15 other bloggers and you are one of them! I have been reading your blog for awhile now, so I thought you'd be perfect. You can check it out on my blog and pass the award along if you'd like! :)
