busy friday

Yesterday Molly came over in the morning to visit with Jack and I. Then my mom came over and she, Jack and I went for a walk down to Wal-Mart and back. Then Josh and I dropped Jack off with Neena and Pappy so we could go out to the movies. I was a very busy day for us but it was a lot of fun so thank you to Molly, mom, Neena and Pappy for helping us out! Jack was a good boy so hopefully Josh and I can go out again :).

Jack and I just got back from another walk around the neighborhood. He was a very good boy and he was farting the whole way. I haven't checked his pants yet but he's been making a habit of taking a giant poop in the afternoon that squirts out his pants and up his back and belly. I can't smell anything so I think we're good.

At the begining of this week I weighed Jack and he's now 9.1 lbs. That means he gained 9oz since last week and 1.4lbs since birth (if I did the math right). What a piggy!

A few more mommy moments

Again today I was able to get myself and Jack bathed and ready to go.



Jack has colic... that explains his screaming fits almost every night for the past few days. The only good thing about is after he screams for a few hours he's tired himself out so he sleeps for about 3 1/2 hours which gives me time to sleep. I feel so bad for the poor little guy. He's clearly in pain from a lot of gas and there's not much that we can do. We've been finding more and more ways to make him more comfortable and they seem to be working. It feels nice to finally be able to comfort my own baby. Hopefully this doesn't last too long.

Rolling, rolling, rolling...

Jack rolled over from his belly to his back for the first time yesterday!

Today I felt like a real mommy. All by myself I fed Jack, pumped, at breakfast, gave Jack a bath, got him all packed up and headed for my parents house... What most of you don't know is that my mom has been helping me EVERY day since Jack was born so today was the first day getting him and I ready to go out all by myself. I was very proud!
