So many little things have happened since Jacob was born. Here are some highlights:
- He has been poked and prodded way more than mom & dad care to see since Jennifer was gestationally diabetic they had to test his blood sugar the first day.
- When papa Matt changed his first diaper he didn’t block very well and Jacob peed all over his own face! He was not happy about this.
- Jacob had his two-day checkup and everything is perfect. Again, Matt was talking to the RN and Jacob peed all over himself. Papa is learning, slowly.
- Either mom or dad was up with his for the first 48 hours of his life. We were so scared he would smother himself!
- In his third day of life he is much more alert. He opens his eyes and locks on our faces. He loves to lay skin-to-skin like a frog on his mom or dad.
- Jacob eats every 3 hours and is gaining weight now after losing a few ounces after birth.
- Jacob loves to claw at his face when he is excited or frustrated so we keep him gloved when he’s not swaddled.
