Last night I fed Shawn and then laid him down and then laid down myself. He started to cry, Charlie picked him up and said he spit up. After turning on the light, we discovered that there was blood in his spit up and little blood clots! We totally freaked out!!! We had no idea what to do so I called my mom. She suggested to call the 24/7 nurse on our insurance card. She really didn’t know anything and said to call our pediatrician. We ended up talking to a triage nurse and she said it was very common for breastfed babies to spit up blood if the mom is very sore and cracked and to made an appointment with the Dr. in the morning. This made us feel better but I don’t know if I will ever get the image of my precious baby with blood tinged spit up all over his P.J.s. Definitely the scariest thing I have ever had to go through.
We met with a lactation consultant this morning to help me heal and to get Shawn to latch correctly. This woman was amazing! She helped me so much! Hopefully the next couple of days will go more smoothly!
Yesterday was my moms birthday and she turned the big 45 wink wink. We went out for her birthday tonight to Native New Yorker for some wings and a good time. After this all we came back to our house for some Cake and Ice Cream. for her bithday we got her a Picture Frame and we put all her grandkids and her three children with a picture of Grandpa and Grammy J in the middle, it came out really good. Thanks Ashley for making the cake and thanks for everyone coming over. 
Love you mom Happy Bithday!!!!
Today was Shawn first sponge bath. Christina and I gave Shawn his first sponge bath because his cord stump has not fallen off yet. Once the cord falls off we will be able to give him real baths and not worry about getting water all over the the place. We took 2 bowls and filled on with warm water and the other with warm soppy water. we rinsed Shawn off one side at a time and the went back and put the warm soppy water on him and then we rinsed him and dried him off. he did such a good job. After all was said and done we washed his hair he really liked this he did not fuss, cry or scream. he took it like a man or baby well after we washed it we combed it and i combed it to look like a Missionary come over.
Shawn also had his first Dr. apt this afternoon at 3:30. He did a good job. Christina went to Change Shawn and Shawn some how peed on me but Christina got the bulk of it. After we got him all change the Dr. come in and she is look at him and he peed all over her as well it was quite the show he putt on, if the Dr. wouldn’t have put her had to block the pee he would have peed right on me it would have been funny i guess.
Shawn we love you, you are so handsome.

Today was Easter and we went to Christina’s Parents for Easter dinner. Christina’s Aunt and her family are in town and were really excited to see Shawn. Shawn did such a good job on his day out with only a couple of cry’s he did fine with everyone. He even went outside while everyone looked for Easter eggs he had such a good day. My wife also did a great job on getting ready for the day with this being her first big outing as well. My Sweet baby boy and my Sweet beautiful wife did awesome.
