When Caleb met Jakey




I cannot get livewriter downloaded on my laptop so far, so these pics are in wrong order, and it took forever! This is when Caleb first saw jake, thats the bottom pic. then he walked over to me. When I hugged him I tearred up a little. I was so happy.

Wow

I'm so far behind I don't even know where to start.. Jake will be 5 weeks tomorrow! I have only blogged once since he was born. i can't believe how busy he keeps me, and TIRED. I swore I would get more sleep once he got here. How dumb was that! He's precious though. i bet he's already thinking I sure wish this lady would stop kissing on me. He was 7 lbs and 5 oz at his 1st dr appt the day after I left the hospital ( he was 7 lbs 10 oz at birth) and then when i took him back for his 2 week appt he was 8 lbs and 11 oz, so he gained almost a pound very quickly. He is a big eater. We had to switch up his food a few times but hopefully we have it figured out now. He doesnt goto the bathroom very often and its pretty firm still but is getting better. He definitely seems less fussy and gassy now. His eyes are blue like mine were when I was a baby but mine turned green and so Im pretty sure his will too. Ryan, his mom and my dad all have brown, along with Caleb and all of my siblings. Me, my mom and Ryans dad all have green. His hair is also finer and lighter like mine was as a baby. As for my labor, it went very fast towards the end. i didn't get an epidural til i was fully dialated. They didn't check me til right after I got it when I told them i couldnt move tolay down. I felt stuck. well his head was right there. it did take the edge off of the pain by the time he came out. I didn't push long at all. I felt great right away. All of those pregnancy pains and discomforts went away and my baby boy was finally in my arms. He pooped on me when he came out just like caleb had. Caleb got a kick out of that. as soon as they cleaned me up and got rid of all the blood and mess, Ryan went toget Caleb. I got emotional when I saw him. I was so overjoyed to see him and to have both of my boys together for the first time. He brought me two little notes that he made for me. I better get off her real quick, but I will post some pics soon from his birth-day.
