Jakey Boy!

Just because he's cute.

Teething...i think

I 'think' Jacob is teething (hopefully nothing more serious)... and it really stinks! My boy has always been a wonderful sleeper, a champ at the breast and a very lite crier. Tonight he won't sleep, won't eat, and will not stop crying! My poor, sweet boy. I've given him Tylenol, rubbed numbing tablets on his gums, let him suck on a wet,cold washcloth, and he is STILL not getting any relief. What else am I suppose to do?! Just let him suffer? Take him to the doctor in case it's not just teething? And what about eating? If he's hungry enough will he eat even if his mouth still hurts? What do I do if he doesn't start eating soon? I need help.

Happy Anniversary to us!

This weekend was insane. Jake works late on Friday nights. I called him around 9:00 and told him that I wasn't feeling well. By the time he got home it was clear that I had a very violent flu! I spent the entire night on the bathroom floor. The sickness continued to the next day. I tried to sleep as much as possible. Jake and Annie took care of Jacob all day, only bringing him down to me to be fed with the little milk that I was producing. We tried to give him some stored breastmilk from a bottle. He HATED it! He went to bed frustrated.

The next day was our One Year Anniversary. Jake went to church without me. I was still feeling really weak. When he came home I went upstairs and there waiting on the table for me was a card, a box of cake mix, and a dozen white roses (my favorite)! My sweet husband spent the next hour baking a delicious chocolate cake that I actually was able to eat. The rest of the day was spent sitting on the couch together (I was still re-cooperating)

Thankfully, I am feeling a lot better today!
