First Weekend in Memphis

Well we just got back from Jackson's first weekend in Memphis. It was a very busy but fun filled weekend. We got to see a lot of family that I haven't seen in over 10 years. We flew down on Friday afternoon into Nashville. Dad and David picked us up in Nashville and drove us to Memphis. Jackson did very well on the flight. He only fussed twice. Once cause he was wet and the other time cause he was hungry. He didn't cry for long so that was good cuase the plane was FULL. He slept the whole way from Nashville to Memphis. Once in Memphis we stopped by Joe and Cyndy's house where our family was. We ate some and let Jackson meet family then went home. After we got home Erin and Tony came over to see Jackson cause they were in town for Erin mom's wedding. They hung out for a while then they left and we went to bed. Saturday morning was the "family reunion". Basically 30 of my family members went to Cracker Barrell to Eat. It was good food just crazy having 30 people there. After that we took pictures outside of the restaurant then went to Granny's house to hang out some more. After that we went back home and mom and I went shopping for stuff for the night. Saturday night we had family and friends over to play cards and meet Jackson. Jackson did very well for as many times as he was passed around. After everyone left Jackson was so sore and exhausted that he couldn't sleep. Everyone was asleep but me and Jackson. he finally went to sleep around 1am. Then Sunday we got up at 6 to get ready for church. We actually made it to early service then went out to eat. After lunch we went back to the house and packed. Once we were packed we headed to Nashville to fly back home. Our flight left at 750pm and got in at 920pm. We picked up Zack from a friends house and came home. We got home around 1045pm. Justin and Zack went to bed. Jackson appeared that he would be awake for a while but I fed him and he went to sleep around 1130. He slept till 630 this morning. Today we were all exhausted. Justin had to go to work but me, Zack, and Jackson slept most of the day. I ended up having to give Jackson tylenol cuase he would start crying when I picked him up under the arms. His ribs are sore from being picked up so much. So he laid in the swing or chair all day. So it was a wonderful weekend but we are tired. We will be going back to Memphis soon but we will be resting until then. Hopefully that is!! Hope everyone had a great weekend.

EASTER PICTURES!!!

Ok well we are about to be going to Memphis. I am trying to pack Jackson and don't know how much to pack. Some days we go through 4 outfits the other days we only go through one. I will probably pack too much. Oh well. Nothing much has changed since the checkup. He did very well with his shots. I was very impressed. Oh well gotta get back to packing. Also have to pack the dog to go to a friends house so very busy day!!

2 month check up

Well I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter. I actually didn't have to work so we went to church and then took pictures after. Well me and Jackson took pictures. I am at work posting this so I will have to post pictures later. So we had a great time at church. Then Tuesday we had Jackson's 2 month check up. He now weighs 12lbs 0.9oz. He is getting to be a really big boy. He also had to get shots. He got 2 in one leg and one in the other leg. He screamed a little but I just picked him up and gave him his passy back and he went to sleep. I had to go to work so I didn't get to see him much. That is the hardest thing. I miss getting to see him on the days that I work back to back. It is very sad. Justin sends me pictures and things that help me get through the night. Oh well I guess I will get back to work. I will get to go home soon and sleep then pick up my baby!!! Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter.

Happy Sunday!

Well not much has happened since I last posted. Natasha is in town this week to hang out with us. I did get to go yesterday out with the girls from church. Tash went with us too. We went to Mimi's cafe then to get a pedicure. It was wonderful. Then I had to go to work. I am about to get off and go home to go to sleep. Justin, Tasha, and Jackson are going to church so I will have a few hours by myself to sleep so that I can come back to work tonight. Oh well that is all the excitement for now. Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

Happy Birthday to Me!

Well my birthday has come and gone. I really didn't get to do much. Yesterday was my first night back at work. I did a lot better than expected. I cried before I left when I was telling Jackson good-bye but after that I didn't cry. Now there might be a good reason for that. Monday night we went to Red Lobster to have a nice night out for my last night of freedom and for my birthday. So we get there and Jackson has been good all day running errands with me. Then we go to eat and he cries the entire time. I change him and feed him and he still cries. So while I was doing that Justin ate his food by himself then Justin would walk around and get him to calm down while I was eating. Needless to say it was not a fun night. I cried the whole way home. Think it was more a combination of being tired, not wanting to mess up everyone else's dinner, not being able to get him to stop crying, and knowing that I had to go back to work the next night. So I ended up getting a lot of my crying done the night before. So Tuesday, Jackson was really good and let me get a nap. Well we actually took a 3 hour nap together on the couch. Then I went to work. It wasn't a bad night. Then Jackson went for his first day at daycare. They said that he did great. His teacher loves him. He is the youngest there. All the other kids are crawling or walking so they like seeing a little one again. He was up from 10-2 while he was at daycare. Justin went and picked him up and brought him home on his lunch break so that I could sleep a little more after my first night. When Jackson got home I fed him and he went to sleep. I put him down in his little chair then laid on the couch and took a nap with him. Then I went back to work. So basically my birthday consisted of getting off work, sleeping, feeding Jackson, sleeping, and going back to work. Not a whole lot of fun but what can you do about it? We are going to try to go out again while Justin's sister is here to keep Jackson. So that is about all the updates for now. Hope everyone is doing well. Sorry there are no pictures on this one but I am not on my computer to be able to add them. Hopefully next time.
