2 weeks Old

God Bless the nurses who actually made me get up and out of bed to move around this time, after my first c-section with Paige I never got up hardly until the day I went home. I could hardly move and was SOOO Sore, this time was MUCH different and I was walking the halls the very next day after I had Jake. I am very thankful because with Paige at home this time, I didn't know how I would be able to take care of her when I got home, luckily this time my recovery went so much faster! I'm still a little sore, but feeling pretty good most of the time and I'm actually doing stuff around the house already. Although, I can tell when I do too much!

Jake is doing great, he was a little jaundice, but he is fine now! He had an issue with his belly button cord falling off, I forget what the Doctor called it, but basically it was healing itself too much, and it just kept getting bigger and bigger. So she had to burn the inside of his belly button to make it go back down. She just did it yesterday, so it's oozing a little bit today, but should be better in a few days.  Also, he has one testicle that is swollen, it's pretty common, and should go away by the time he is 1 years old, if not then he might have to have surgery to drain the fluid out, but it's vary rare that the fluid wouldn't go away by itself.

Paige is adjusting quite well, she loves giving Jake kisses and always asks to hold him. She even likes to help feed him his bottles and throw away dirty diapers. I think she is gonna be a very good Big Sister! She has her moments though when she wants to climb up in the chair with Jake and I, which I can't say bothers me at all!
She is still going to daycare a few days a week, I'd rather her have fun with the other kids than sitting at home all day.



Rod is back to work, unfortunately! I really liked having him at home! He is such a good daddy and has done a wonderful job helping me out!
