Two Weeks

Has it really been two weeks since this sweet boy has come into our lives? I find myself caught between time standing still and flying by. It seems like only yesterday I became pregnant and at the same time it feels as though Jack has been here for months.



Still so tiny, he's changing so much. This time last week he'd gained back to his birth weigh plus one ounce and grown 3/4". He's a little snacker. He'll nurse a little, snooze a little, snack a little more. I enjoy the opportunity to sit and be still with him. And I love that he loves to rock. I'm beginning to hear coos and ahs and he's much more alert during his awake time. He's beginning to wake more during the day and allowing me to get to bed earlier. This is much welcomed as for the first week or so he'd sleep all day and wake from 9 pm to 1 am.



Will is still being an excellent big brother (especially for a 2 year old). There have only been the occasional hints of jealousy, mostly vying for my lap. As I comfort Jack saying "shh, it's ok Jack", I often hear beside me "No Momma. I'm Will". But all in all, he's adjusting well.

The grunts I'm hearing mean I'm being called to be Momma again...
