3 Weeks

I cannot believe that it has been three weeks since Jackson was born. It is hard to remember life without him, and its equally hard to believe that he isn't even supposed to be born yet! With the heat that we have been having, I don't know what I would do if I was still pregnant.

Jackson and I have been trying to stay as cool as possible, without losing our mind staying in the house all day. I was a little nervous taking him shopping, but Stephanie talked me through the placement of the car seat on a shopping cart and we are good to go! I was amazed with the special attention we got at the grocery store. Jackson loves to be pushed in his stroller, or a shopping cart and loves to ride in he car. If we're on the move he'll even go an extra hour in between feedings which is really nice because its hard to get a lot done on his three hour schedule.

Jackson eats every three hours and I am still nursing, its going really well. The nights are hard because he wakes up screaming and ready to eat about every 2.5 hours. The pediatrician said I should really wait to feed him every three hours, so getting him to that point at night is hard. This week I am trying to break him of sleeping on me, I think he cries at night because he's in his craddle and not on my chest.

We had our newborn pictures taken last Friday, check out marlenetouchet.com, password is jackson. We're so happy with the pictures and really glad that we had them done. Jackson gets bigger everyday so it will be nice to have these pictures to look back on.

I'll leave you with some pictures from last week. Jackson went swimming and loved it, he is a water baby!
