What we've been up to.

Our weekend at Tawas Jake at 3 1/2 weeks, we had lots of fun.

Jake in Grand Rapids visiting his cousins! So very cute at the park!

Jake and his new friend Maggie - Katie's little one at 12 weeks Jake at 3 wks. I'm not sure if he's ready for the ladies just yet.

Look how i can streach! 4 weeks and growing!

yesterday at 5 weeks the Dr. Said he was 9lb and 4 oz and 20 1/2 inches long!

Jake is doing well and is excited about his first trip to Mississippi! Mom is excited and nervious, as you would expect. I am excited that last week i got to have a girls night to gab about the realities of mother hood, i learned alot and had a great time gabbing.

Jake thinking!

Ok i think he's very cute!

3 weeks

Jake's 3 week birtday! We are doing well, Jake is learning that at night its best to eat and go back to sleep, which i am very, very greatful for! He has now had 3 good nights in a row! We're crossing our fingers that we can keep them up. Jake still doesn't like to sit by himself though, if he's awake at all he likes to be held, I'm hoping one of these days he'll enjoy the swing or chair, or anything that isn't me holding him. Not that its not fun to hold him or great for us but it would be nice to make dinner or type with two hands every once in a while!

As sad as i am to see him grow up, I just want to see him stay small, or as my nieces say teentsy tinny, I'm amazed at how he's smiling, and holding his head up. I love love love the smiles!

Baby Jake 2 weeks

Jake and i have been hanging out with friends this week and i'm learning what the new normal is going to be, or welll he's teaching me that everyday will be different! Its challening. I must say! will blog more when he finnaly naps!

He knows he's cute!

Baby Jake

We did it! We had a beautiful baby Boy! Jake Mathew arived on tuesday the 24th at 6:38. He is perfect, after a long and scary labor, we ended up helping the little guy out via c-secion. He was an adorable 7lb 3 oz when he was born, and after losing 7 oz in the hospital our pediatricion was impressed that he had already started gaining weight by saterday.

Jake has been so much fun. He was an excelent wedding guest at Mom and Lee's wedding just the day after he was released from the hospital. Sleeping through the ceremony and even smiling for a frosting fight when the grand children cut the cake.

Chris and I our doing great, we're tag teaming at night with each of us taking a shift at night feeding him. I've been able to pump during the day so that we can keep him on breast milk and still alow me to sleep! Hurray! Will post more pic's later because i know that is the main reason to check in! Thanks for all of your well wishes!
