Great Grandparents Day

Hello all. Today the family made the trek down to Vallejo to visit the Passalaqua-Jeffcoat relatives. Jack got to meet his Great Grandpa Joe for the first time, and hung out for a few hours while everyone got to know him a little better....outside of the hospital. Great Grandma Nan, Great Uncle Mike and Great Aunt Mary were alos there. Jack behaved himself for the most part, and was very content to be passed around and have the family hold him. Jack also seemed to enjoy his car ride (both there and back again). As soon as his head hit that car seat head rest he was out! It was very good to get down that way to see everyone, and it was a success as a first outing for Jack.

Tomorrow Aunt DeAnna is supposed to be stopping by to visit with er favorite nephew. Then Jack has a couple days of doctors appointments. One for a routine check up to make sure he is still gaining the weight (we'll also enquire about his possible reflux issue), then the next day for an RSV vaccination. Now if we can just figure out how to get him to sleep between 7 and 11 pm.

It's Been a Few Days

Hello out there in innerweb land. For those still keeping track of Jack, he is doing very well. At our last weighing of him he was up to 8 lbs 4.5 oz. That was 2 days ago I believe. It's been pretty quiet on the visitor front. Nothing like the first 2 weeks. We had a lot of people that wanted to say hi to Jack....and it was very good to see everyone and have them in our home. We go a visit from Mary's aunt Sharon on Thursday. She made us some pot roast dinner and came to lend a hand with Jack during the night so we could get a little rest.

Jack still has some fussiness at evening/night. Every time we think we figure out what's going on he switches it up to keep us on our toes. We think he may be having bouts of reflux, because he seems to be in some pain after eating and is making some throaty noises/having little spit ups. He has a hard time laying in his crib on his back. We have found that he gets the best sleep and most comfort when sitting semi-upright in his swing. So, we have let him sleep in there, we just move it from his room to the living room during days and nights. We'll keep that up until we talk to his pediatrician on Tuesday.

We took Jack and the dogs for a walk today. Down to the dog park, it seems to allow everyone involved to get some rest and play. Tomorrow we are going on a road trip to Vallejo. He is going to hang out with the Great Grandparents and Great Aunt & Uncle. I will be sure to take a lot of pictures.
