Today Jack is 3 weeks old and still absolutely perfect. I wouldn't mind if he slept a little more at night but I enjoy spending time with him...no matter what time of day or night. I'm sure a day will come soon enough that I will wish he was waking me up. We estimate him to be over 8lbs now...that is from our very accurate weighing him on our scale while one of us holds him. We go back to the doctor mid March and will have a more accurate weight at that time. He is getting bigger every day and more alert every minute. John and I both think he gets bigger every morning when he wakes up. I am feeling well and amazed at how well I am getting around. I would like to be able to do more but I still get tired very easy and some motions still cause a little pain. We went to my doctor this week and she said I am doing GREAT and my incision is healing well. My blood pressure was slightly elevated while we were there so I'm going to go back and have it checked tomorrow. We'll see what happens with that. The doctor and nurse really enjoyed snuggling with Jack. I have been cleared to drive and am very grateful for that. The weather has finally gotten warm enough for us to take a walk outside so that is on the agenda for this afternoon/evening.
John has been working from home this week and it has been fantastic. He comes downstairs and has lunch with me every day and is able to take breaks in his work day to spend with Jack and me. It will be a huge change when we move back to KC and he has to go in to the office. It has been great having him around. We are attempting to get the house in order so that we can contact our realtor to list the house but it is really hard with a new baby. It seems like all I want to do is snuggle with him or sleep. One big task a day seems to be the current limit...today I cleaned the kitchen floor and did laundry. Tomorrow hopefully I'll be able to tackle a bathroom or two or maybe some vacuuming...we'll see. I can't say it enough...but I can't wait for all of you to meet him, he is so perfect! Love and miss you all!
