Welcome to Preston's Blog!

Welcome to our baby boy's first web page!!!
-----------------
It is all about Preston Jaymes and perhaps a little about Mom and Dad...but not too much as he is much more interesting!!! Hopefully it will help us keep everyone connected to what's new with the newest addition to our family! As most of you know, Preston Jaymes was born on Labor day--go figure and weighed a hefty 8lbs 10oz and was 21 inches long.....he is now 3 1/2 months old and weighs a little over 14lbs and is about 24 1/2 inches long...He is growing very fast and changing ever day! ALOT has happened over the past three and a half months...hopefully we can catch you up if you have missed any of it...
---------
His first month of life was a busy one....... Here he is in just his first few minutes in this new crazy world! Lots of poking and proding...I think he liked mommy's tummy much better, but we were glad he was finally here!!!

Here is mommy and Preston Jaymes the night of the event...Mommy was ecstatic to finally meet the little man growing in her tummy the last nine months....she was also very tired after a long ...LONG....day!




Daddy and Preston Jaymes at the hospital...both very tired and wore out!



He had lots of visitors at the hospital...his Gramma Lynn and Grampa Jim were there and gave him lots of love...(this is their first grandchild and I think he is going to be spoiled!) Preston Jaymes was given his middle name after his Grampa Jim..




Preston's other grandparents were there too...Gramma Chris and Grampa Steve gave him lots of love as well! We were so happy they were able to make the trip down...Cousin Madison is also pictured and I think she might have been the most excited to meet her newest cousin! She is very good with him!



Here is Preston with his Aunt Lisa and cousins Madison and Ainsley....Ainsley IS smiling in this picture, but she wasn't too sure what to think of the little guy for awhile...I think she is finally warming up to him...now that she knows HER mommy isn't keeping him!


Even Uncle Josh got in on the action...I think this may be the only time he has held his nephew...and it wasn't willingly!


The visitors didn't end there...He met a lot more friends, family and neighbors over the next few months....he is surely loved by many people...we really appreciate everyone's love and support!

-----

We couldn't leave the hospital without a little chaos....Preston wasn't feeding the greatest in the beginning and had to be put on a billirubin light....he did NOT like it and we hated it more! It was not fun having to be "plugged" in all the time..luckily he only had to wear it the first three days home.



-------------

Coming home from the hospital was quite an experience..boy they aren't kidding when they tell you that you won't know what hit you the first night! I don't think daddy or mommy slept a wink that night.....or the next......or well I guess we still haven't slept that much yet...and are beginning to wonder if we'll ever get a full nights sleep again!

--------

We had our first bath....sponge bath that is...Mommy and Daddy got water everywhere!! Thank goodness Preston can now take a "real" bath and we don't have to worry about keeping that bellybutton dry!





----------------

Mommy and Preston didn't stay home for long and starting going to a BFSG at only two weeks old! He is definitely takes after his daddy--he found a girlfriend right away!! Her name is Lucy and they are still friendly as can be...daddy tries to tell him to keep his options open...mommy says if you find a good one--KEEP her....and Lucy is GREAT!!
