3 weeks old

I am so INNOCENT!!

Daddy Time

Jett and Donnie got to relax on Daddy's day off!!

Christina & Mike

Well, Mick and Joe left for Laredo on Saturday and I must say I took it pretty well. Jett was great as usual during the day but for some reason he ate at 11pm, midnight, and 1am. He only ate for about 10minutes at 1 and passed out till 5:30am. I was pleased.
Donnie's dad came in this morning. I have to wait for him to be distracted so that I can take some pictures! He does not like his picture taken, but he will soon be blogged!!

The whole time Mick and Joe were here, Donnie and I were always refered to Christina and Mike!! Don't you think Christina has had her finger wrapped around our mother and father for a long time?

Alani

Here is one of Jett's many girlfriends. Alani, was born on January 11th. Jett loves older women!! Alani and Jett finally met on Sunday night. She is bigger than he is but hopefully Jett will be her size in a few weeks. HOW CUTE THEY ARE!!

GIVE CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE

I must say that February 13th was my original due date for Jett to come into this world. In December, my doctor had said that she moved me up to Feb. 7th. Then, in January she said if Jett was still breech, he would probably come early. Well, Michelle "Sis" DeLaTorre Clounch made the call back in early December that I would have the baby on January 24th. Well, she was partially right. Broken water the 24th and baby the 25th!!! So, if I had money on the delivery date, Sis would have won!

Getting Bigger

Last Thursday we had a our 2 week doctor's appointment. They took blood for Hepititis and then gave a shot. Not exactly sure what the shot was for. The way that they take blood on babies is hard to bare. They prick the heal of the foot and they milk the blood out. Jett's has had this done 3 times and his blood does not flow. Donnie was there for the first two and he was pretty ticked off. Me, I didn't like it, but I figured that was the only way to do it. Jett screamed bloody murder. It is really hard to watch, because you can only hold their hand and talk to them so that by chance, they can hear and relate to your voice and that everything will be OK.
This last time, Donnie did not sit in the room with me, it was probably a good thing, he may have jacked the nurse!! So, he went to go pick up my breast pump!
After they took blood and gave him his shot, you just want to hold him so tight, and I did. He was so traumitized, that as soon as he felt me, he stopped crying!!
On the good note, Jett gained a little over a lb. so he is now 7lbs 7 ounces. Jett looks really healthy and no major concerns. Now we don't go back for another 2 months.
Although, we do have to go get a scan done on Jett's hips. Being a breech baby, the hips sometimes do not develop correctly, so Dr. McGonnell wants to be sure that he is perfectly fine, so we go in for that March 14th. Dr. McGonnell checks his hips all the time he says they feel fine, but never can be too sure.

Almost 2 weeks Old!!

First Time Grandpa Held Me

This is the first time grandpa held me. Grandpa claims that he is too small to hold him, so grandma just lays him on his belly.

Jett loves to cuddle!!!

Proud Papa

Donnie's job at the hospital was to change diapers. He was a little liery about gagging when changing him, but it never happened.

Now he goes to work, does mine and mick and joe's aronds, holds me when he gets home from work, and stays up for my midnight feeding.

Jett was smiling at his daddy!

"The Great Challenge"

This past week and a half, I have been really busy being a MOM!! Wierd to say but, it is true!! The first couple of days were sleepless days and nights. Jett, I believe had a bit of a tummy ache 2 consecutive nights in a row. He cried and cried, it totally broke my heart. Patients I have when he cries, patients for what is making him cry, none! So, needless to say, I was very emotional the first few days home. Jett also had a bit of jaundice. So, we were up all night and had to be at the doctor's office early in the morning. You know, as a person, I can be organized perhaps in a cluttered type of way. Now, I have to be with a baby and his schedule. So, the night before, I had thought, well, he will eat at 6am and our appointment was at 9am so we would be fine, nope, did not work out that way. We ended up being 30minutes late. Thank goodness they were flexible!

Yes, Jett slept in bed with me on the two nights of horror, but I am proud to say, and I will knock on wood, has had 2 consecutive days of sleeping in his bassinett after feeding. He usually eats at 11:30pmish, 3amish, and again at 6amish. Our boy has been consistant the last 2 days.....yipppeeee!! At first, during the night I had thought that Jett had his days and nights mixed up, because that is all he wanted to do, is look at me and talk!! Too, cute, but at 3 in the morning!!! Now, he is up a bit more during the day and likes to hang out!!

Jett is definitley getting heavier. We have a doctor's appointment on Thursday, I can not wait to see how much he weighs.

He eats, pees, poops, and smiles constantly!!
