Weekly Update!

It is killing me not having a computer at my house. I only get to use the Internet on Thursdays because it is family night at my mom's house. So I guess you will be getting weekly updates until I go back to work. Jameson is doing great! I am so full of love, anxiety, pride, and happiness. It is hard to describe. Anyway, he is perfect(you will hear me say that over and over again.) We went to the pediatrician this week and he is a healthy little man. He has gained a pound in 10 days! He now weighs 8 lbs. and 5 oz. That satisfied my fear that he wasn't eating enough. He also grew. He is 21 inches long now. I hope he is tall like his daddy so he won't have short man complex! :0 We go back in 2 weeks and I can't wait to see if he has gained more. I sure hope so. I am doing well. I miss being pregnant like crazy! I still catch myself rubbing my stomach and remembering that he is not in there anymore. Sometimes I will feel something in my stomach and I think, "Oh he is moving" and realize that he is not there. If I ever sit and think about it, I start to cry. That has been my biggest struggle I guess. I loved being pregnant and now that I am not, it depresses me. Don't get me wrong, I am so glad that Jameson is here, but it is like I am alone again. Something possesses your body for 9 months and then all of the sudden it is gone. You feel lonely. I have had many people tell me I am crazy! You can too. My recovery has been amazing. I expected to be sore and complaining for 6 weeks, but I don't even feel like I have had a baby. I am ready to start exercising! I fit into a pair of my jeans today and that made me very happy. I can also wear my wedding rings again. Things are falling into place. Still working on this feeding thing. I am going to have to introduce formula soon because I have a training in 3 weeks for work and he will start daycare in 4 weeks. Pray that he transitions ok and that his tummy will take the change. I have a few more pictures for you. Thanks for all the sweet comments. Keep praying and thinking about us! I still need help. Look how much he has changed in 2 weeks!

He is Here!!!!!!!

My sweet little boy arrived on August 5 at 11:41 a.m. He weighed 7 lbs and 3 oz and is perfect! I instantly fell in love with him and do every day all over again. My labor was perfect and was over in 6 hours. I only had to push for 30 minutes and he was here. It was the most amazing experience of my life. This is something you truly have to experience for yourself to get the full effect. He is sleeping pretty good and is on a 2-3 hour schedule. I call him my little pig because it seems like that is all he wants to do. Enough talk, I have pictures for you to enjoy. He is perfect and amazing! I will update you soon. Thanks for all of your prayers and thoughts. Keep praying that we can be the parents we need to be for Jameson. God is so amazing and had blessed us with this perfect gift! Thank you Jesus.


Proud Mom and Dad!


Glad that is over!


Proud Papa!


Sweet Boy!



In my bouncer!
He has changed since we left the hospital. I think he changes every day. I know he keeps getting cuter and cuter. No one has been able to tell who he looks like yet. I think he has my nose and Rusty's eyes. Only time will tell.
