The drunken Sailor

What is it about being close to the ones you love that makes you feel better? Today, Adalie woke up with a stuffy nose and a little ity bitty cough. Hearing a two week old baby cough is tough enough but when it is your own baby it just pulls at your heart strings. Of course I was on the phone with the Dr right at 8 when they opened. The Dr assured me that she sounds like she is just a little stuffed up and that she will be fine. It is noon now and she seems to be breathing a little easier but I'm still worried. I don't think I'll let her out of my arms until she is all better.

Adalie's first walk

Today was Adalie's first walk. It felt like such a big accomplishment! We were able to get ready and out the door without any tears. We walked down to the mail boxes. It is a little over a half a mile from the house. The sight of us must have been amusing to on lookers. I was decked out in my new non makeup look, happy that at least my hair was clean (not styled but clean) and one of Ricks oversized jackets to keep Adalie and myself warm. Adalie was tucked into her Ergo carrier and fast asleep as soon as we started the walk - what an awesome happy baby. I honestly think that a couple of the cars that past us thought about stopping and offering us a ride. I can just imagine what people must have thought, "oh that poor new mother who has to walk to get her mail, oh and her jacket doesn't even fit". However, the smile on my face for getting out of the house must of shown that I was having more fun than a walk should warrant. Tomorrow off to see Uncle Jon and help him with the business postcards :)

Welcome Adalie ~

Okay so here is the first blog, for the Jacobs Family. We just wanted to welcome Addie into the world and if anyone would like to follow her as she grows we will update this periodically. Hope you enjoy :)
