New Baby Jacob

(From my journal to Jacob)

I love you so much! Today has been fairly uneventful, for the most part. Since you didn't let me sleep last night, we both napped this morning. Today has just been feedings, naps, and diaper and clothing changes. You choked a little while feeding, and it really scared me, but you got it up pretty quickly and I kept you upright for a while after that. I'm hoping I just had you too horizontal and that it won't be a regular occurrence.

Your umbilical cord fell off yesterday. I'm pretty sure Boehmke carried it off, because I can't find it now. I thought once the cord was off, we'd be able to put diapers on tighter and that then you wouldn't pee through your diapers, clothes, blankets, AND bassinet sheets, but I was wrong! I've never done laundry on such a regular basis before -- it's pretty much always running. You're sleeping now, and you look so sweet! I'm waiting for your dad to call, and then it's shower time!

Regarding Pre-Benjamin Posts

Any posts before Benjamin was born are from my journal to Jacob. I put them in so this blog wouldn't be missing tons of Jacob stories. Well, it is still missing tons of them since I have forgotten to write down quite a few! Anyway, I typed in my journal to Jacob word-for-word, to balance out all of Benjamin's new baby stories. I also wanted a reason to insert some of Jacob's earlier photos. :)

I am keeping a journal to Benjamin, but I won't be typing any of those entries in here because I'll be keeping the blog current and won't need those entries.
