So when we found out Holly was pregnant my brother, Brian, recommended that until the child was born that we just "SLEEP". He said, "When you think that you need to get up --- DON'T --- Just Sleep!". At the time I did not get it --- Brian, I get it!
Today marks six weeks that the little man has been with us and it has been nothing but a total joy. I miss him every second that I am away from him at work. At some point everyday I just stare at him --- I know it sounds a little bit creepy. Holly and I were talking last night and it is just amazing how you can love someone so much. But at the same turn it is probably the toughest thing that I have ever done. You realize after having a child how selfish your lifestyle was before they were born. Everything has to be planned and anything that you wanted to do really goes around the schedule of the child. There have definitely been many sleepless nights (especially for mommy). I have said it many times in the last six weeks but I did not realize that Holly and I could function on such little sleep. What a blessing it has been for us to have this little man enter our lives!
I can truly say that being a father to Jacob William is the greatest accomplishment in my life!
WE PUT THE CHUNKSTER ON THE SCALE LAST NIGHT AND HE WAS OVER 12LBS. JACOB IS MOVING TO LEVEL 2 DIAPERS. ALL HE WANTS TO DO IS EAT (HE GETS THAT FROM HIS MOMMY --- LETS JUST HOPE HE GETS HER METABOLISM AND NOT DADDY'S)
