One month old!

Jadon is already a month old! I can not believe it! He is getting so big already! He's pretty much out of new born size sleeper outfits, some of the onsies and pants still fit though. He's so cute. He has been smiling a lot lately!!

Last weekend he got to meet a bunch of people! Lu and Georgia came down from Salina to meet him. We left him at my parents for a few hours so he could hang out. Becky was able to come to St George with her friend so we went and got her while Jadon was at grandma and grandpa's house visiting Lu and Georgia. Then Lynn stopped by my parents to visit him since she was in town to see her daughter. So he was a very busy and popular little guy. Lynn even brought him a couple outfits! Then on Monday Nikki from the MS society came over to see him, she and the girls from the office got Jadon a few outfits and toys, that was so sweet of them.

Today I went to the dr for my follow up appointment. Looks like I'm healing well and I have been released to return to work on Monday. It's bitter sweet. I'm glad I'm healing and I am well enough to return to work and I have missed the people. But it's hard to leave the baby. I know its going to be hard and I'm going to miss him.

I'm having a hard time with breast feeding. I'm pumping for him but I'm only getting 50-60% of his daily needs so we are supplementing with formula. I called a lactation specialist yesterday and she gave me some instructions and whatnot but I'm not sure its the direction we want to go. So now I'm just taking some mother milk tea and I'm going to get some pills that are suppose to help me make more milk as well so we're keeping our fingers crossed that this will help me make more for him. But no matter what happens at least I know I have tried and I'm doing the best that I can.

Anyhow I will leave you with a picture of our little guy at one month, taking a nap! He happens to be in the same outfit as last time... it's fitting much better now though lol.

  1. I can't believe that it's been a month already! That time has flown by. It seems like it should've only been 2 weeks ago that he made his debut! Wow!
