2 week doctor visit...

Jacob went to visit Dr. Wilkes yesterday. He is 8 lbs 4 oz now (for those keeping track that's 1 lb and 2 oz OVER his birth weight) which is the 25 percentile. He's growing out of his newborn clothes at 21 3/4 inches which is 75 percentile. And they measure his head... it's 25 percentile as well at 34 cm. His umbilical cord came off Tuesday evning, boy was I glad to see that go! It was rubbing a raw spot on his little belly, and we were having a time keeping it from getting any worse.

Jacob did pretty well Monday while I had surgery. By pretty well, I am mainly refering to his eating, he took a bottle like a champ and has returned to nursing with no problems. He was rather cranky most of the day - I'm sure he knew something was up, his mom was MIA all day - which provided for an exhausted little boy that slept for 5 hours Monday night! I'm aware this is a one time thing, but was thankful that Pat was able to catch some much needed rest. I slept through most of Jacob's crying but was able to return to Mommy duties on Tuesday morning, with the help of Robert, aka Unlce Bob. My recovery has gone better than I had hoped, and I've almost got my feet back under me. Jacob and I have enjoyed a day with out any appointments to get to and any visitors at the house. VERY RELAXING and great for recovery. Hopefully tomorrow will follow suit until we head out to meet some friends for dinner.

I'm backtracking...

Saturday Aunt Brownie Paige came to visit. She was VERY happy to meet Jacob. He was sporting his Baby Brownie onsie that Aunt Brownie Alice had made for him.Gracie and Mimi stopped by last week after Gracie's soccer camp. She's been working up to holding Jacob for more than just a minute or two... And last Monday Papaw stopped by to visit on his way back to Bowling Green. I was able to snap this picture of Jacob with both of his great grandparents.
