2 kids!?

Well lots has been happening but once again I will probably have to make this a quick post, baby is once again sleeping but that can change at any moment!! ;)

Lately our dog has been acting like an only child that isn't getting the attention she once did before baby Jacob arrived! Which is probably true, we haven't really been spending too much time with her and she is definitely letting us know! The other day hubby asked me if she has ever gone into the garbage bags that we set outside, and I told him no - she's never gone in the trash, ripping bags open and checking out what is in them. We assumed it was a bird or cat that did it ... cleaned up the mess and decided we would now double bag our garbage. Well hubby went out today to run some errands and when he got home the garbage that he had just re-bagged was again spread on the driveway .... the culprit was obviously the dog since she had been outside all morning and would have chased away any animals in our yard! I'm surprised - she has never gone into garbage before but it made me realise that she is acting like a only child that is all of a sudden not getting the same attention as before and if doing bad things will get her that attention then she feels like that is what she needs to do!! grrrr - it's very frustrating.

I had Jacob's baby shower on the weekend, there was a huge turn out - probably 50 people. Jacob got tons of gifts, mostly clothes (in bigger sizes, which is really good) we also got a few gift cards and a few toys. I think everyone got a chance to hold him, some more then others, I was expecting him to be very grumpy from being passed around but surprisingly he did very good and only fussed when he was wet, hungry or gassy (as usual). We did stay later then expected so I am still trying to catch up on my missed sleep. The hubbies aunt and cousin took tons of pics, which I can't wait to see and when I do I will definitely post some pics!

I can't believe how big Jacob is already and he is only 5 weeks old! At the 2am and 5am feeding I actually have a hard time caring him cause I'm so tired and feel like I have no strength. I couldn't imagine giving birth to a baby his size now (almost 10lbs) ...which does happen. I lay him on my tummy and think there is no way he would fit in there now but people do carry big babies~? August long weekend we are kinda going camping, there is a big slow pitch tournament in a small town a couple hours away that we go to every year. It's kinda like a family reunion (on the hubbies side) and we have some fun playing ball while we are there. So that will be our first trip away from home with Jacob, I am already making a list of all the things I will need and that list is really long!! I'm hoping that I don't forget anything but I suppose if I did it's not like we are camping, I could run to Wal mart and pick up what ever I forgot. Hopefully everything goes well and he adjusts to being away, which I'm sure he will cause he doesn't really have a schedule/ routine yet and doesn't really know that his bed is his bed - as long as you hold him he will fall asleep. Now when he is 14 months (next year) we might have more issues!?

O - we also got professional pics done of Jacob to hand out at the shower, I wasn't too happy with them but they were cheap so what do you really expect? I just know that next time we won't be using Wal mart, maybe we will try Sears? Anyway I will post a few of my favorite pics from them, tell me what you think! Better go now, if I want to get some sleep before he wakes up!! :)
