Back to Work

It's hard to believe that 3 weeks have passed since Jackson was born! I go back to work on Thursday, which is going to be tough. I have enjoyed being home with both Kristin and him these past few weeks. It has given me time to get adjusted to having a baby in the house and allowed Kristin and I to start working on a routine. Going back to work is going to be hard for many reason. I'm kind of upset that I will not get to spend much time with Jackson during the week. I will be out of the house by 6am and not home until 5-6pm, which is when he usually gets ready to be fed and bathed. I feel like I am going to miss out on so much when I am at work, especially miss out on he getting to know me better. It's also going to be rough because right now we are up every 2-3 hours to feed him, so sleep is going to be at a minimal before having to get up to get ready for work. I am glad though that Kristin will be home with him until the end of June. I am also looking forward to going back to work because it will put back some form of a routine in my life, which I do not have right now being home.



So this weekend was a busy one for the Favry's. On Saturday afternoon, Kristin, Jackson, Chelsea and I headed up to Mass. Kristin and I had made plans to go see Nana B (Papa B's mother) on Sunday. We were going to drive up and back the same day, however, we realized that it was going to be a lot of driving for Jackson not to mention he being passed around like a football all afternoon. In an effort to minimize him melting down, we decided to go up the night before. Saturday night Jackson got to spend some time with his Nannie and Papa B. Nannie also got to feed him, though that did not last long because Jackson got a little fussy and Nannie go nervous (mind I tell you she never gets nervous). Saturday night we all went out to dinner to Longhorn. Jackson did awesome!!! Between the wait and the slow service, I think we were at the restaurant for 2-3 hours. Jackson did really well! He slept pretty well at Nannie's, however, he was up often to feed. Our Pediatrician told us that he would go through a growth spurt around week 3, which I think is the case because he is eating often. It seems like no sooner do we finish feeding him, an hour later he is hungry again!





Sunday morning we headed over to Nana B's, Jackson great grandmother. He got to spend time with her along with his Aunt Carol and Aunt Jan. Nana B also had some of her 90 yr old friends stop by to visit. Jackson also got some nice onsies, pants, shirts etc. from Lisa, Papa B's daughter. We had some Cape Cod pizza for lunch and this awesome orange cream cake for dessert.

Yesterday we took Jackson to the Home Depot to make a return. He also got to experience Walmart for the first time. He was not too impressed as he slept the whole time! As for today, once he wakes from his nap, we are going to be going to the post office, the seamstress and the DMV so Jackson's daddy can get his license renewed. Fun times indeed!

So, in the 3 weeks Jackson has been born, he has been in the car countless times driving back and forth from CT to RI. He made his first longer trip to MA and he has also been in 2 restaurants, both times doing awesome. He has also been to countless stores with us. He is certainly a big boy! (literally - 3 days ago we was just shy of 10 pounds!!!) da I think he should be rewarded with Wii Fit for being such a good boy.
