A month old

Tate turned a month old yesterday and a very busy one it has been. He is already moving around his crib, found that he likes to sleep on his side and is already holding his head up. Tummy time has been very productive as he is already trying to turn over and he gets irritated after he spends some time trying to get to his toys with no luck. We have yet to try out the tub since he lost his umbilical cord - the goal is to give him his first bath this weekend.

Matthew Tate Jewett

Three weeks ago today, Matthew Tate Jewett arrived in this world by C- section after 24 hours of labor. He came out with a head full of hair and looks like a little image of Randy..with the dimple in the chin as well. I can say enough for the Doctors & Nurses at Rex Hospital for doing a great job taking care of us.

Randy and I have spent the last 3 weeks learning about our little guy and adjusting to the changes in our life. What a miracle to have such a beautiful and healthy child- I never imagined you could love someone so much.

In the past 3 weeks, we have had some sleepless nights, a learning curve on breastfeeding and lot of dirty diapers...of which I would not change a minute of it for anything. As of this morning, he still has his umbilical cord- just barely....and on Wednesday he goes back to the Dr for his well baby check.
