More pictures to come..

Sorry we haven't uploaded more pictures. We had to be readmitted into the hospital yesterday because Jacob’s blood results showed that he had a somewhat high level of jaundice. They tested him twice, one was high and the other was average. So to be on the safe side they wanted to hook him up to the billi lights for a day. It was pretty sad seeing him hooked up like that and having to stay on this table under the lights all day. It was extremely hard for Aaron and I because we had to monitor him 24/7 b/c of his light goggles he had to wear. Jacob continued to tear them off. So after 4 very long days at the hospital, we are finally home today. Hopefully for good!!

Everything is going great. Jacob is feeding like a champ and is a great sleeper. Hmm.. I wonder why? That seems to be his father’s favorite hobby. Every keeps saying how much he looks like Aaron. He is a little mini me of Aaron, looks and all. I know I’m his mom, but Jacob is so adorable. Aaron and I sure did a good job at making an extremely good looking little boy :-) So far he has been an amazing little guy. He only cries when he needs something or because he has been having some bad gas. Yet another thing he gets from his father! Ha ha just kidding!

Our dogs have taken to him pretty well. They are very curious about him. Georgia follows him every where and is always checking on him. The first and only night we were home so far, both dogs spent the entire night waking up and checking on every movement and sound Jacob made. Smokey is a little more shy around the baby, while Georgia would love to be all in his face.

We will have more pictures uploaded this weekend. I would upload them now, but it’s hard to stay away from Jacob too long… he’s too damn cute!!

Jacob Lee is here!

After 41 weeks, I had to be induced. He was too content inside of my tummy to come out. Long story short, I was induced about 5:30am Monday. I started pushing around 1pm and he finally came out at 3:23 pm. It wasn't that bad of a delivery. Honestly it did hurt like hell! His head was freaking huge!!! By the next day I was moving around and didn't hurt much at all. I did get two tears and had to get stitches. But other than that, I feel pretty good today.

So here is what everyone has been waiting for....pictures!!


Jacob Lee - born Monday Feb. 23, 2009 at 3:23pm. 8lbs 7oz & 21 inches

Who would have thought?

I made it to 41 weeks pregnant! I never thought this would happen. But clearly the baby is already taking after his daddy and has decided to come late. And now the little guy will share the same day of the month birthday as his dad. Makes it a little easier for us to remember in the long run.

I am being induced tomorrow at 5am! I'm dreading getting up that early. It's still hard to grasp that we are going to be parents tomorrow. No more waiting and guessing. It's happening tomorrow no matter what. This time tomorrow we will be parents. For some reason it still freaks me out a little. We have been waiting for this for over 9 months. It started to seem like this day was never coming.

So tomorrow we will welcome the newest member of our family... :-)
