Update on my new little guy

[anewvance]

Jackson will be a week old tomorrow and is still in the hospital. But he made a move from NICU to the regular nursery. And he should be coming home in the next day or two. The only problem he's been having the past few days is with eating, he is a lazy eater. But he's progressively gotten better and better and i'm happy to say that tonight he took a whole bottle from me. They told me to bring in his carseat for his carseat test tomorrow (required of all preemies, must be able to sit in the seat for an hour with no breathing problems). So fingers crossed!!! I have a few more pictures to share if no one minds...

My first picture with my little guy and I look totally wasted on my percocet.. sigh

He is so cute. He really is. I miss those baby days.

And no you don't look high on Perc's. I would love to show you my picture with my 2nd the day after I had him when the nurses kept saying, just take another hit-Morphine. I look stoned & I have never been stoned in my life.

Your little guy is just beautiful! Good luck with the carseat test, I hope it goes well and you can have him home soon.

PS. You don't look wasted, you look in love.

ETA: You should see MY first pictures after having my first son! I had developed Bell's Palsy on the left side of my face, so one eyelid drooped and that half of my mouth couldn't smile. Trust me when I say YOU LOOK GREAT!

Awwww Melissa, little Jackson is so cute and so good to hear he is progressing so well. I think the pic of you holding your little man is very sweet. Yes, would love to see more pictures! Best wishes, I bet the kiddies are going to love having their little brother home.

I remember those days... My twins also 35 weeks had to take it as well. One passed and one didn't.

Babies R Us has a preemie carseat fairly cheaply . around 40? We called it thier veggie drawyers because thats what it looked like. they can lay flat. they also worked really well for going out to dinner they slid right onto the booth benches!!!

Congrats! He does look like your other boy. He's a pretty good weight for being a preemie!

He looks like your Ian.

I know! These two are the spitting image of each other. Except Jack's head is much smaller then Ian's head was... LoL. I was putting pictures of them up to each other, they look so much alike!
