1 month old already!










Well I can't believe I am saying this but Jake is a month old already. He is now 10.6 oz. and 23 inches long. He has already grown up so much. He is sleeping at least 5-6 hours at night and taking many naps during the day. He also poops A LOT. He loves to do it at the most inconvenient times too! He started smiling a little here and there and the doc says he is as big and alert as a three month old. So of course I think he is advanced and gifted already. Said I wouldn't be one of those moms.... how quickly things change. Jake already has such a funny personality. He loves being held and sung too. Stinks his moms voice is awful. He also loves his car seat and sometimes likes to play on his gym mat. I am trying to get him to become more independent and spend more time in his swing and having floor time, but what can I say at this point... he just loves us holding him and I am a sucker as you know. Jake and MckEnxie met and of course it was love at first sight. Well, kind of. Jake cried the whole time and McKenzie was cool, calm and collected until we tried to get her to hold his hand. It was adorable. I have started driving again and doing my Hanny does around town. I feel like I am 16 again in the car.. freedom! I promised more pics so here ya go. trying to figure out how to get my videos on here... might take a wee bit longer. Sorry.

Well, as I am sure you can imagine I am no longer 2 cm dialated. I am a MOMMY! Jacob arrived on Thursday, January 24th at 3:19 in the morning. It was a pretty normal labor at first. rather quizk actually but when it came down to the last few moments they had to do an emergency c-section to get him out quick because his heart rate was dropping. Luckily, he is a healthy little guy and everything is fine. Just a little scary at the time. I shouldn't say he is al ittle guy... he is close to the ten pound mark now. he was 8.6 oz when he was born. Yicks! Jon and I are so in love. We just cannot believe he is ours to keep forever. He is beautiful and I am amazed that just 3 weeks ago he was inside of me. It is nutz. Motherhood so far has been amazing. I feel so proud to be the one who gets to take care of Jake. I look forward to knowing him even better. We found out this weekend that he is suffering from acid reflux. WHich explained a lot of the constant crying that went on the last few days. He is much better now that we know what is wrong. The doc says he will outgrow it and we just need to help him get through it. He is so precious and has been such a good sport abotu everything. Well I will add some more pics soon... gotta get back to takin' care of the babe..
