Jacob! I am going to start writing you monthly letters....yes, your mommy is a little late with this, but better late than never, right! I am absolutely loved these 27 months! You are such a little gift and daddy and I love you VERY much! Right now you are adjusting to sleeping in your "big boy" bed. You have never been a really good sleeper...we have had some rough nights, weeks, heck, even months! But - about a month ago, it was time. Right after Christmas Grandma and I redid your room (no longer was it about puppies and kitties --Hogan, Simba, Cooper-- it was no all about cars and trucks!). The night after we a change in the decor you slept all night only getting up to get mommy twice! It was FANTASTIC. Since then there have been nights spent on your floor (hey, it isn't mommy and daddy's bed), but those are few and far between. What is also helping is getting a sticker every morning you sleep all night in your bed. You put it on your sticker chart or your 'ist (a list we made together of your bedtime routine). You even pick one out for mommy - because, after all, I slept all night in my bed, too! I am starting to tell you that when you wake during the night you can just roll over and go back to sleep...you don't always have to get mommy. For the past three nights you have only woken up one, which is GREAT!!!
Ok - what else have you been up to: You are talking up a storm. I think your brain is working so fast you stutter trying to get the words out - pretty cute. You LOVE playing hockey in the house...all.the.time! You enjoy puzzles and playing a new animal matching game mommy got you a few weeks back. You really love books, which is great. You watch a little TV - mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Barney, and other shows on Disney, Jr.
We are going to Disney World in March and you are so looking forward to it! Whenever you see Mickey or the Castle you say: Mickey..Maarrrch. and you proceed to "march" around the house. :) VERY cute.
You are wearing size 5 diapers, 18-24 month clothes (some 2T) and a size 7 shoe. I am guessing you weigh close to 30 lbs.
What I am most proud of is your kindness to your friends, parents, grandparents, and animals. You say please and thank-you most of the time on your own and if you think someone may be sad you give them a kiss or just say "hug" and go give them a hug. You are a ball of energy and mommy's little man. I love you lots.
XOXO,
Mommy

Positive
And the result is...positive!
I am ....
Positively excited about this new little one
Positively nervous about the unknown
Positively certain that Jacob will be an outstanding big brother
Positively thankful for IVF and modern medicine
Positive this little babe will be the center of his/her grandparents' world (along with big brrother, Jacob)
Dear little one:
We love you so very much and can not wait for your arrival. Even at this early in the game we pray for your health. I look at Jacob and wonder what you will be like? Will you have his dimples? blonde hair? Will you be a ball of energy like he is (no doubt!)? What will your personality be like? Shy? outgoing? You will be special - mommy's little one. You have a great big brother to show you the ropes and a gret daddy who is excited to have another golf partner! I did not blog with your brother's pregancy, but you have taught me that things go so quickly and I need to be better about documenting things. As I write to you and about my time pregnant with you, I know I will also remember being pregnant with your brother and document my time with him as well. You are a gift, little one! Grow strong and we will see you in September!
