Jack officially turned three weeks old today! Hard to believe that this past Friday, Feb. 6th was my due date. Jack has been making great progress and is really becoming the star of the family....sorry Max. We went to the pediatrician again this past Thursday (paranoid new Mommy thought he had a cold....turns out he is completely fine) and he got weighed again. He weighed 5 lbs., 12.5 ozs.!! Jack has gained about an ounce a day, from our last visit the week before!
Here are some cute pictures:

It is hard to believe that Jack is 2 weeks old!! Time has definitely flown by and Matt and I are still shocked that this perfect little angel is all ours! We had a weigh-in at the pediatrician last week and Jack is officially above his birth weight (only by a 1/2 ounce) but growing everyday!
Jack Mason Staffaroni made his grand entrance on Sunday, January 18th at 2:38pm!! He weighed a whopping 5 pounds, 7 ounces and was 18 1/2 inches long. Jack came three weeks early and made it just in time to see the Eagles lose against the Cardinals! Matt and I are so beyond in love with him and can't believe that he is all ours!
We have been overwhelmed with visitors and well wishes from so many family and friends. Mommom and Poppop Helms and Nana and Papa Jack Staffaroni are beaming with pride and can't wait to show off their handsome grandson.
I will try my best to keep up with pictures and updates on the little guy!
Matt and I went to the doctor yesterday for my weekly check-up. The doctor hinted that I might have pre-eclampsia. Which is when I have protein in my urine, high blood pressure and a lot of swelling. (all of which I had yesterday:( ) But....my blood pressure was high for me, but still not at a risky level. I have had swelling during the day and at night, but it seems to be bearable. I also gained a significant amount of weight in the past two weeks, and that should not be happening at this point in my pregnancy. I am at a high stress level right now, b/c I am trying to wrap up everything with school and make the transition with the substitute as smooth as possible. I also have to collect urine for 24 hours in a row!!! I was given a large, bright, orange jug and was told to collect my pee for 24 hours....oh and to keep the pee in the fridge!!! (I have decided that my garage is cold enough to store pee, and it will stay in there.) All in all, the doctor didn't seem to nervous, which makes Matt and I feel much better! We know we are in good hands!
We will go back to the doctor on Monday and I will get checked again. Hoping things have calmed down we will proceed to wait for Jack to arrive on his own. But...if things seem not right again I could be looking at bed rest, medication or a possible c-section. I do feel good knowing that Jack is full-term and would be healthy if he had to arrive earlier than February 6th. But...I also know that I need to keep calm and relaxed for his and my safety. I will keep everyone posted after our appointment on Monday.
Here are a few more pictures from my baby shower last weekend!
