"I'm one week old!"We've been home from the hospital for one week and a few hours. It has flown by, at times I don't even know what day it is! Taking care of this sweet boy has truly consumed all of our time and we almost didn't realize it had been week since he was born. We were we floored at how fast it has gone. Here's a few updates:
1) Jackson's jaundice levels were down at his doctor's visit on Monday, so much so that we don't have to go back until next week for his 2 week checkup to have them checked again. Whoo hoo!
2) We are trying to wean Jack off the formula our doctor prescribed for the jaundice and that has been trying. Who would of thought that Jack could become such a lazy eater in just less than a week. Prayers are definitely needed as we try to master breastfeeding after introducing the bottle!
3) We had our first family outing this week, that wasn't to the dr.'s office. It was surreal! We actually get to keep this handsome little guy! Our goal this week is to have one family outing everyday even if it's just a walk to get the mail and back. Mom and baby definitely need time out in the real world : )
Nap time in my swing! Thanks for the super cute outfit
Great Aunt Kathy and Great Uncle Joe!

I'm so glad to hear that his jaundice levels are down. We went through the same thing with Reese. Hang in there with the breastfeeding, and try not to get discouraged. It's a wonderful thing you're doing for little Jack!
What a sweetie! It seems long that a week! Take care and try not to go stir crazy. At least you are not having to prepare for TAKS. I bet having a baby really puts things into perspective!
