Happy 4 weeks old to my little Jack Jack! Hard to believe he'll be a month old this week already! He's now been home longer than he was in the hospital and it's crazy how that time spent there seems like a very distant memory. Jack is doing great at home. We're anxious for his 1 month check up appointment on Friday to see how much he weighs now! He has retaught himself how to take the bottle again and usually takes about 3 ozs down in no time. In the NICU the most he ever took was 2 oz so that's a great sign for us that he's growing! Also good signs are that he's filling out his newborn clothes better and is starting to get some adorable chubby cheeks and a double chin :)
This past weekend we had a lot of visitors. Jack's Crete Aunties came up for a visit on Saturday afternoon and we had a lot of fun. Then that night, Grandma Susan and Grandpa T came in to visit for Andrew's birthday and to watch Jack so we could get out and have dinner which was great. Pretty sure Andrew had a harder time leaving than I did, as he was rushing me out the door so we could be back for his next feeding and jumped in to assist with a diaper change as soon as we walked in upon our return! It seemed so nice and normal to be sitting at a bar having a beer, but also so strange when I stopped to think about the fact that my son was chilling at home waiting for us to come back. Crazy what a difference a year can make! On Sunday, a few of Andrew's friends came over to meet the little nugget too. Busy weekend, followed by a visit by Auntie Amy this morning!
That's it for now - I'll be sure to update again later this week with Jack's 1 month stats and a few photos!
