December 4, 2012, our little Jack is 2 weeks today! Where has the time gone? We are adjusting to our little man being with us. I am still in a little bit of awe when I am sleeping and I hear a little cry coming from our room. When I wake and realize it's Jack asking to eat, I can't help but smile.
Brandon and I are fortunate to be spending the days together. He doesn't start work until January 14th. Its been very enjoyable having him home to help out and allow us to adjust to having Jack home together.
Our days pass quickly, even if I have spent all day looking at Jack. Which is what I tend to do these days....just stare. I can spend hours just holding and admiring him. Just feeling his skin, his soft arms, fingers, forehead, hair make me happy. Still his very blonde, barely visible eyebrows just make me smile, his rosy lips and cheeks, his button nose....I could go on forever.
As for sleep, I am not use to this waking every 2.5 hours yet. But the adrenaline of Jack being here makes less sleep manageable. People tell me to sleep when he sleeps, but I have never been a good napper. Maybe eventually...
Yesterday, I had professional newborn pictures taken of Jack. Photographers say that the first 7-14 days is best because they are still the most sleepy and posable. I completely spaced on getting pics done until about day 11 and then luckily found a good nearby photographer that didn't charge too much. I can't wait to see them. It was so fun watching Jack get his pictures taken. The photographer had a white noise maker, her house up to about 78 degrees and the best soothing voice I've heard. She put little Jack to sleep very quickly.
This week I am finishing up Autumn Quarter at UW. I am excited to have the 1st holidays off from work to spend them with my little man. Can't wait.
