3 weeks having 3

-So, it's been 3 weeks now since Jackson was born. I can't believe how time flies! Things are going really well. Nursing has been much better since I discovered I had a breast infection (so not fun!) and got on meds. I'm still a little sore from the c-section, but am starting to feel up for things like walking through Ikea :) However, I think I over-did it today when Lincoln fell (or jumped...it could have been either!) off the bunk bed ladder and I had to run up the stairs to see if any limbs were broken (I don't think any were, but he keeps complaining that his toe hurts- we'll see!).
-Jackson has a belly button issue that I'm hoping will resolve itself. Lincoln had the same problem- when their cords fell off, the belly button was not completely healed & continued to ooze. Lincoln had to get his frozen with silver nitrate 3 times before it finally stopped. Jackson's is oozing bad enough that they can't freeze it yet. I have to take him to Primary Children's on Friday for an ultrasound to see if he has a cyst in his abdomen that is draining out of his belly button. If he does, he'll have to have surgery to repair it. I'm hoping he won't have to go through that! Keep your fingers crossed.
-The kids are starting to ease up on the Jackson-infatuation. I can actually put him in the swing & get things done for a little bit, which is nice! Kensie is great with him & loves holding him while I take a shower, make dinner, etc.
-So, all in all, I'm really relieved at how great going from 2 to 3 has been (so far!). We'll see what the future has in store, but for now I'm so good :) All you who are contemplating #3, go for it! It's awesome!!
