Jackson is 8 weeks old today! This week Jackson saw the Rockette’s Christmas Spectacular and the Macy’s Thanksgiving parade. He doesn’t even know how lucky he is haha!
Read MoreJackson is 7 weeks old today! It has officially turned cold here in New York City, so that means that Jackson has spent much of the week as a cute little baby bear!
Read MoreJackson is 6 weeks old today! This week, he got a lot of extra Mami attention while Papi & Fynn were in California and Aly was at school. I loved all the extra snuggles!
Read MoreJackson is 5 weeks old today! On Saturday he turned one month old, and on Monday we hit his actual due date! :)
We are starting to get into more regular rhythms with Jackson, well, as regular as things can be for a baby with two older siblings around! Sometimes he takes one nap in three different places (arms, car seat, crib!). He is pretty good natured and just goes with the flow of the day!
Read MoreJackson is 4 weeks old today! I have affectionately referred to these past 4 weeks as “bonus month” with this little guy. We’ve gotten to have almost a whole extra month with an extra sleepy little newborn.
Well, this week, Jackson officially woke up.
Read MoreJackson is 3 weeks old today! Ron went back to work this week and so it was my first week on my own with all three kids! It’s been a very smooth transition though. Going from 1 to 2 kids was definitely harder haha. It is taking some time to adjust to the amount of time it takes to get out the door now though!
Read MoreYesterday was our original induction date, so it’s crazy to think that Jackson is already two weeks old! He is still an incredibly sleepy, chill baby. He has started having periods of awake time, but even then, he just lays there calmly taking everything in.

Shortly after we came home from the hospital, I was scrolling through the pictures that Ron had taken on his camera. This photo immediately stuck out to me. First, he captured the pure joy I was feeling in that moment of meeting my son Jackson for the first time. But secondly, it also reminded me of another picture Ron had captured just 10 months before.

Jackson’s Birth Story
Let’s go back a little bit before the day Jackson was born...
Read MoreAfter about a week of worrying about Jackson, he decided to make his grand appearance into this world. Born on September 27th, 2018 weighing in at a whopping 5 lbs. 15 oz.
Read MoreThis evening, Ron and I (okay, Ron, while I watched) raised the crib mattress up in preparation for Jackson's arrival. It might seem like a small act, but each little "to-do" that we knock off our list, is actually so weighty and feels like a step of faith. Because raising that crib up means that I expect to put a baby in it. What should be so certain in our minds, just isn't. So I feel so vulnerable when we act in ways of certainty. I want to believe that it's true, but in the same breath, my instinct is to "protect" myself, to guard my heart just a little. As if not preparing a crib could somehow lessen the blow of losing a child. I know this to be false, yet my mind still operates in this fashion, even if subconsciously. So we make conscious efforts to be "normal" during this pregnancy.
