Happy due date, Little Jackson! Here are few pictures from this last week. Little known fact....babies have great veins in their scalp, so that is why his IV is in his head. He looks a little like Alfalfa to me. This was taken after I got to feed him a bottle. Don't you love the drip of milk on his chin? He is eating like a champ. This was so special for me to feed him with a bottle. It's amazing what you take for granted when they are not with you each day.
A little smirk appeared on his face after his bottle. I think he likes it!
Here is a side profile shot. The heart-shaped "sticker" (as Charlie called it) was used to keep his bili-sunglasses velcroed onto his face.
Who's your daddy? Adam is such a proud papa! This was one of the first times that he got to hold him for more than a minute. We had just said on the way to the hospital that night how much fun it would be to be home giving him a bottle, burping him, and just rocking him. God continues to answer our little prayers!
