We have a 1 month old...

Jack in comparison to Daddy's putter - watch him grow over the next year

Not so sure how he feels about being 1 month old :)

Somehow, our little Jack Man is 1 month old. Where has the time gone!? According to Mom's measurements at home, Jack weighs in at 8 pounds 9.5 oz, and is 21.5" long. Quite the growth spurt from his birth measurements. He is more and more alert each day, still giving us a run for our money at night, and we fall a little bit more in love with him each day, if that is possible. He loves snuggling with Mom, Dad, and anyone who will hold him, taking Reba for walks in the stroller or the Moby wrap, and has been taking bottles from Dad occasionally. He has been a good eater and loves his paci. He has mastered the swaddle wrap and somehow manages to get his arms free every night. We have our hands full with this one :)

It's a BOY!!

8/31/14 -- Welcome to the world Jack Michael Wieme

After a nice dinner date with Alex on Friday night (8/29/14), my water broke at home around 12:45AM. We arrived at the hospital around 1:30AM and were admitted. Because I was not having contractions, they had us walk the halls for 1 hour to try to get things moving. This little man was pretty stubborn (although I like to think he was just comfortable in there), and still at 1cm dilated, they started Pitocin to induce contractions. Then the real fun began. After 24 hours of labor, I was finally able to start pushing. Again, the little guy held his ground and because of his position (face up), after 3 hours of pushing, it was just too difficult to get him out the natural way. 26+ hours of labor and surgery for cesarean, little Jack made his entrance into the world on 8/31/14 at 3:39AM, weighing 6lbs 15 oz and 19 3/4" long. Saying that we were ecstatic to meet him is an understatement. He is simply perfect and be warned... way too many pictures are coming your way.
