Momma's Miracles: Nanny & Pa Meet Jackson

Nanny & Pa thoughtfully planned to give us a couple of weeks after Jackson's birth before they came to visit. Unfortunately their flight was cancelled due to all that pesky cold weather I blogged about. So, they delayed the trip one more week which worked out just fine. They were thrilled to finally get to meet their newest grandson and see their only granddaughter. Tessa is obviously excited to see Nanny.

Ryan's sister Heather made the cute little sweater that Jackson is wearing. He is so big that it already fits! While we didn't make Pa change any diapers, we did get him to hold Jackson.

And, of course, Tessa was happy to crawl up in his lap too.

We didn't venture out too much. We spent time around the house and Nanny cooked for us. She stocked our freezer too which was much appreciated. Both Nanny & Pa were great making sure that Tessa still felt extra special too. Nanny would read to Tessa and color with her and Tessa just glowed with the attention.

While Frank & Paula were visiting, we had a work to attend. Ryan's work prefers to do their Christmas party in January to avoid the December rush. Normally, this is great for us but, this year, not so much. I had nothing to wear since I was in that awkward place of having lost a lot of my baby weight but was not yet back to my pre-preggo size. My mom came over the day before the party to find me standing in the closet crying. We went shopping and I was able to pull myself together for the party. Frank and Paula babysat for us and both kids did great. Jackson had been nursing exclusively up until this point so I was not excited about leaving him. For practice, Ryan gave Jackson his first bottle. He took it like a champ because he feeds like a genius! While we were gone, Jackson took his bottle from Paula without a problem. Tessa got to stay up late and watch Barbie movies to her heart's content.
