Well our little guy is 2 months old - it is so hard to believe. I am back at work, so trying to get pictures posted becomes more of a challenge, since they are on the home computer and I don't get in front of that hardly at all during the week, so I will try and post pictures and videos tomorrow. Going back to work hasn't been as bad as everyone led me to believe. It is no picnic, but knowing that Jake has been in great hands with his Dad this week made it a lot easier. Also, thank goodness Grandma B came for a quick visit and give Dad some help, since I have a sinus infection and can't go near the baby. Anyway, here's the latest on Jake...
We finally got the verdict on his galactesemia - he is a carrier, but doesn't actively have it. So, we can go back to regular formula which smells slightly better than the soy. Really bottom line is Jake just needs to be careful when he tries to have kids, since if he marries someone who is a carrier - their child could have it. But, since that is way too far down the road and too painful to think about right now, we'll move on.
Jake is a FANTASTIC baby and I'm not just saying that as his mother - he really does rule. He is sleeping through most of the night now and by most I mean he passes out at 10pm and doesn't start stirring until 5:15am and even then can be coaxed into falling back asleep for another hour. All of this is really helping Andy and I, since we are getting more sleep now, too! YEAH!!! He is still eating like a champ and guzzles down 7oz without a problem. We may have to introduce some cereal a little earlier than expected just to keep up with how much he is growing. I'll check with the doctor on Monday when Jake goes in for his first set of immunizations. I am not looking forward to this visit, since he won't be a happy camper. So we have a big week next week - Monday = shots then Tuesday = daycare. I have checked in with the ladies who will be watching him a couple of times this week and they are so excited to have Jacob come in. They already have a little cubbie labled for him and everything. I think this will be the big test for me - letting someone else who isn't related watch him, but since he's really close I can check on him whenever I want.
Lastly an update on Jake's gang - everyone is now born. Adi and Pete had their little boy last Saturday, so Jake, Owen and Camden will be ready to take over Newnan before we know it!!!
Pictures/Videos posted tomorrow...I hope...
Can't wait to see the new pics, I'm sure he has changed! Isn't great to have a good sleeper? Mary Mac was sleeping 8-9 hours at night at 5 weeks and it was heaven! Emma took a little longer- 8 weeks, and Andrew, well, we won't go there, let's just say, I think Mary Mac started sleeping through the night before Andrew ever did. I still think there are weekends that he is up at 4am downstairs watching cartoons! haha!
