Well since Jace has arrived we have been really busy. It was one thing right after another. First Jace ended up having Juandice i don't know how to spell that. So he had to be under the lights in a suite case it was a hard week i wouldn't have lasted if my mom hadn't stayed the week with me. He cried all night long the first night home i thought it was because he wanted to be held and loved and not under the lights which i think was part of the reason he cried but we found out the next day that he had a tooth on the bottom front of his mouth that broke through the gums that night. Everyday that first week i had to take Jace to the hospital to be poked and get blood drawn for his jaundice and on top of that we had to take him to a pediatrician dentist and ended up having to get his tooth pulled on Thursday the 19th so that was another fun night of him crying all night long because his mouth was hurting him. The dentist made it sound like it wasn't a big deal and that it wouldn't hurt him boy did i under estimate him. It surely did hurt him and i learned the hard way that i should have waited a couple more days to get that tooth pulled but it is all over with now so what can you do. And on top of all this Jace is a spitter i have been drenched by him so many times i stopped putting clothes on him ha ha.. so he has been a naked boy the last couple of weeks for most of the time. But the things have been getting better one Thing good is once the weekend came and Jace and i finally had a normal day of being just at home he sleeps all night long except for waking up for feedings every two hours which saved my life because he wasn't sleeping during the day or night that first week i thought i was going to die. People kept telling me it gets better man i was like really ya right it gets better. but it did and it is getting better we just had a few obstacles to get through first. This morning we ended up taking Jace to a chiropractor who specializes in babies and pregnant women. I heard through the lactation specialist that i had come and help me with feeding Jace which was another problem i was having was that he would only eat on one side for 6 minutes and be completely out sleeping and couldn't be woken up. So it was hard cause he would only sleep for 1 hour and 20 minutes and be hungry again and if he spit up which he often did he got hungry even sooner which is why i was getting no sleep. Lactation specialist helped me out with that and now Jace is eating better and sleeping better. She recommended that i get him looked at by this chiropractor and said that one reason babies spit up and don't eat as well one side than another is that their spine is off and it makes it so they cant turn their head as well on side than another. She was also telling me that most people just assume that their babies have reflux which is one thing i was thinking Jace had and sometimes they do have reflux but another thing is they just need some adjusting so we are going to see if that is what Jace needed was adjustment. we go back for a check up on Wed. Anyway that is what has been happening so far. oh we also found out the he has a hernia under his belly button which is why it sticks out so far. The doctor says that is normal and that it should go away before he turns two. So my pregnancy was easy and perfect the labor was easy and uncomplicated so i guess i couldn't have everything be perfect ha ha.. Jace is a healthy normal baby boy so i guess that is all i can ask for he just had a rough couple of weeks. So far today i can see a difference in Jace from his adjustment he had this morning. I'm so thankful for my mom and all the people she knows who could help me out with my problems and making it easier for me to be a good mom to Jace and to know how to better help him Cause it was rough their for a while but i'm seeing a light at the end of the tunnel. oh and Jace is gaining weight like a good boy he is now 9 pounds 5 ounces yeah!!
