Our baby Jacob...

Not the best picture I have ever taken, but it's a start....

Weekend

I still can't get over what a good big brother Noah is....

We had dinner with the girls. Noah never gets any attention...

Jacob and I went out and watched Daddy wash his truck. He wasn't amused....

New Pics....

Here are some snap shots taken today. Just to let you know, I have started updating our Photoblog again. I will probably be doing that weekly (she types hopeful :-) Our photosite is www.joshannienoahhill.photosite.com There is also a link on the right side of our blog.

Quick Update....

Well, I have a feeling this might be a little long, so hang on........ I just thought I would update everyone on how it is going. My mom and sister Caroline got here from Chicago on Saturday night. Noah was SOOOOO excited to see them. They didnt get in til 9:30, so we kept him up to see them, and they were glad we did. Noah ran all over the house entertaining everybody. We all got up for church the next morning and enjoyed lunch at Applebees. After a restful Sunday, we went to bed knowing full well the next day would be full and life changing. Josh and I woke up early on Monday and got ready to go to the hospital to have a baby! We had to leave a little early for a stop at the drug store. My toes were horendous! I needed to buy some polish.. anyway, we my surgery was scheduled for 10:30 and we were suppose to get there at 8:30. We pulled in about 8:20, got all checked in, and was in our "get ready" room at exactly 8:30. After a little wait, all the nurses and doctors came in, and told us we could go in early! Yeah! So, by 10:15 I was on the operating table getting my spinal. (that was fun!!!) Within the hour, Jacob came out SCREAMING!!! It was great to hear such powerful lungs, and Joanna (the nurse from our church) brought him around the screen so I could see his precious face! After about a half hour, Josh and I were in the recovery room making our phone calls. Well, I was trying to wiggle my toes, Josh was on the phone. While in recovery, Jacob joined us.....Still screaming. He was a little hungry. After wiggling my toes we were taken to our postpartum room where we would spend the rest of our time. By noon, we were watching Millionaire and Jacob was nursing. It was the most amazing feeling to me. One minute I could feel him kicking and flipping inside me and the next, I was holding him!!!! Oh, by the way. He weighed. 7lbs 8 oz. and was 19 in. long. I was bedridden all of Monday, so Josh stayed the night with me in the hospital to help (there was a pull ou bed there) but up and about on Tuesday. We had visitors Tuesday coming and going, which was nice. My doctor came in on Wednesday morning and said I was healing beautifully and he was going to send me home. YEAH!!! We left right after lunch on Wednesday, which was amazing staying in the hospital 50 hours after a C-section.

My mom has been such a help to us! She basically has taken care of all of Noah's needs and I honestly don't know what I am going to do when she leaves. Noah is loving the baby! He is so funny. If he hears Jacob crying, he will come running and hold his finger over his mouth and say "SHHHHHHH". It's quite hilarious! Oh, and he loves to give the baby his paci. I can't believe he hasn't tried to put it in his mouth yet.

Well, that's about it. I know it's random, but it is an update nonetheless. Jacob is doing beautifully at night. Well, so far. He had a little bit of jaundice so we went back to the doc today. His jaundice is almost gone and he is 7 lbs. 4 oz., which is good because when we left the hospital he was under 7 lbs. One thing about the baby is his when he sleeps. As you can see in the pictures, he sticks his tongue out like a little puppy...too cute...

Currently he is laying on grandma's lap sound asleep. She should be packing because she is leaving tomorrow (sniff sniff) but can't seem to put the baby down :-)

Thank you for all the comments! We love you all so much and promise to put up more pics as they are taken!

Fun with Cousin Griffin!!!!

Griffin: "Dude, we can do it, just jump in!"

Noah: "Man, I don't know, those are killer waves!"

Where's Noah? Griffin is peaking :-)

Playing in the sand.

YEAH!!!!

Our naked boys on the way home. Hey, at least they weren't wet and sandy! The beach just wears you out!

Well, a week left.

Whew. Didn't think I would make it. It's hard to believe that exactly one week from right now, our little Jacob will be coming into this world. I must say, I am going to miss the "him and me" time. You know, those midnight squirms and kicks, the way he makes my belly look like a huge wave, the stretch marks ha ha yeah right. Yeah, life is going to be alot different. Noah is ready...... we think :-) He does know the difference between the "baby" diaper and Noah's diaper. We have the changing table set up and all the diapers out for both children. When we tell Noah to go get a diaper, he use to bring us the baby's. He's learned and now claps after handing us a Noah diaper. Every time I buy diapers, I think "I wonder if we'll make it through all these before Noah is potty trained" Hey, I can dream can't I! Actually, he's a little far from potty training. Hopefully we can get him a "diego" seat and that will help. I finished Noah's shirt yesterday. We got an iron on off of Ebay and had a plain white Old Navy shirt, so we just used that. Didn't turn out too bad! Josh worked on his truck all weekend. It was perfect weather. He sanded out the wood in the bed and then painted the strips. Looks alot better than it did.

So, that's what the pics are of. Not much to post. Just a quick update on us.

Durham Bulls

Well, on Friday night we went to the Durham Bulls game. I can't believe I only got 4 pictures for Noah's first ball game, but my batteries ran out, so oh well. We had great seats, and at $6 a ticket, it was a steal! Our team didn't win, well we assumed they didn't, the little guy couldnt make it past the 7th inning. We were losing 0-15 so it's pretty much a given. There were fireworks after the game, but we obviously didnt see them. It was fun! Can't wait to go back!

He loves his Momma!

Photo Shoot!

We went to Dillon's house today to have a playday. Since it was sooo beautiful and Derek and Kimber's house is so wonderfully landscaped, I couldn't help but bring my camera. Yes, I know my child's hair is long and probably needs to be cut, but we are just figuring out what we want to do with it. Oh, and Daddy dressed him today just in case you couldn't tell :-)
