Jaxen - 1 Week Old

Jaundice Update: We went to the hospital Monday morning to have his Jaundice levels checked and they were good! He technically still has it, but his levels have dropped enough and are low enough that they do not need to see him anymore, until his 2 week check-up!

**********

Jaxen was born 1 week ago, today - It has been a pretty crazy and exciting week! This morning I looked at Nik and said "Well, we survived the first week!" For that matter, Jaxen survived his first week!

His Birth Day:

1 Week Old:

* Weight: 6 pounds, 13 ounces.

* He is wearing newborn clothes and newborn diapers.

* He likes to be cuddled all the time - and we oblige!

* He is eating every 3 - 3 1/2 hours.

* After he eats, he normally stays awake for awhile. During this time he has become more alert. I love looking into his eyes and watching him take everything in!

Nik and I still look at each other every now and then and say - "Can you believe he is here?!" We are having the best time getting to know Jaxen. We are in awe at how cute he is and how good he is. Every face he makes, every noise he makes, every stretch...it's all so wonderful. We are not taking these first days for granted - we know how fast the days will go!

HAPPY ONE WEEK, JAXEN!
