Well, Jasey (his latest nickname) is now just over 3 weeks old. For the most part, I think he's a pretty good baby. The "hard" days are those when he wants to eat less than 2 hours apart. That seems to happen every few days. They say that it's normal and call it "growth spurts." Glad it is normal, but dang, it is a challenge! Today was one of those days, and it pretty much means I am stuck in the recliner feeding him all day. It gets a bit frustrating after a full day of that!
We gave him a bottle for the first time yesterday. That was the funniest thing I've ever seen! We weren't sure how he'd react, but man, that little dude INHALED that milk so stinkin' fast! We were cracking up! The sad thing is that it took me about 25 minutes to pump the 4 oz. of milk he drank, and he drank it in less than FIVE minutes! Ha! But needless to say, I am thrilled that he had no problem taking it. We tried the Avent bottle, and one of the Playtex Drop-In bottles. No problem with either of them. Yay! We are planning to go to a football game next Saturday, and Grandma Jenith has agreed to watch the baby (thanks, mom!). So now he will be able to eat while I'm at the game! Phew! :)

Awww, I know it's hard to feel like all you are now is a feeding machine for the baby. Something that helped me was that things never stay the same, they are always changing, and babies are always growing up and getting past "phases".
He's so cute! Any pics of the finished room to show?
ok, i heard a lady in another ward has a baby that is in nursery ( 22 months) and is still booby feeding him. can you imagine? treasure these moments and go pump more milk!!
