2 Week Check-Up!



Jackson is two weeks old! Here are his current stats:

weight: 9 lbs 9.3 oz (75 percentile)
length: 21 3/4 inches (75-90 percentile)
head: 36.5 cm (50 percentile)

So, my little man is getting big! I can't believe that he has already gained 1 1/2 pounds and almost 2 inches. He had to have his heel pricked for the PKU test and it was awful. He cried a lot, so I am happy that that is over with. Otherwise the appointment was great. I am just happy that he is so healthy.
I am loving being a mom. He really isn't a good sleeper at night, but he is so adorable during the day that I forgive him for the lack of sleep!

Hey Mariah,

Your baby is so cute! I am glad to see that he has those Petersen cheeks for the moment! How are things going? I haven't seen for a while. I can't wait to see your baby. Hopefully, I get to see him soon. Jackson has to meet his favorite cousin! haha

hey Mariah, that's awesome that he is already two weeks old and growing really well!!! I am sorry about the PKU shot!! I hated that, actually i hated taking Liz to get any shots! It almost makes me wanna cry every time!! But as for the sleeping, i'm sorry to say that it will probably be that way for a while!! but it WILL get better and pretty soon he will be a WONDERFUL sleeper, I'm sure. Then you'll just almost forget what it was like not getting the sleep you needed!! :) Well Congrats again and good luck with everything!! He is very cute and adorable, they are so much fun and such a wonderful blessing to have!! :) take care

He is such a doll! I can't believe how much he has changed from the first pictures. I am so happy for you and Alex. It is a joy that no one really knows until you have a baby of your own. It is some thing you just can't put into words. Good luck and hope to see you soon.

I hate the heel prick. Easton had to have his heel pricked every single day for a over a week. It was awful.

He is so cute, and a little bigger than when I saw him in the hospital. I want to come check-up on you guys. I'll give you a call.

Mariah, He is so CUTE!! I am one of the mean people that have to give the prick on the foot. PKU's are the worst part of my job. I am sorry they have to do that. We need to get together soon. Tell "ALLEN" I said HI. Love ya
