Over the last few weeks, Jackson has discovered his hands and feet. He particularly likes to suck on his fists. At first Adam and I thought he was trying to discover his thumb but after doing a little research, we're beginning to think that Jackson might be starting to teethe. Some of the books I've read said that children can start teething as early as three months (which as much as this depresses me, Jackson is only shy of being three months a little over two weeks). Of course this is just my theory, it has yet to be confirmed by his pediatrician. Two weeks ago, Jackson also discovered his feet. It's fun to watch him move his toes around and for him to discover that he's making those movements himself. It's quite entertaining to watch.
Unfortunately, Jackson I think has caught his first cold. I've tried to let it run it's course but he's been coughing for about 4 or 5 days now, so, we have a doctor's appointment today to ease this first time mom's mind. The pediatrician told us at his two month check up that Jackson has begun to loose his antibodies that he had from birth. He said that from now on, Jackson will probably get 8-10 colds a year. I'm sure it's nothing but as an over-paranoid first time mom and dad, Adam and I decided to go. Updates with that later...
On a happier note, I would also like to announce that last week I got tested to see if I have type II diabetes after having gestational diabetes with Jackson. The likeliness of my getting type II diabetes is higher because I had gestational diabetes while I was pregnant. But, after waiting what seemed to be a lifetime, I am pleased to announce that my blood results came back normal! I am happy that I can continue to eat what I like (in moderation of course) :)
