Family Pictures

Marc's parents have been here from California and we all went to dinner at my parent's house. Here are a few pictures from that evening. Of course my Dad had to take a picture of Jacob with a tennis ball- no pressure Jacob you can play any sport you want.

2 Week update

Friday was Jacob's 2 week birthday and we took him for his 2 week well check-up. He has gained half a pound since his birth weight and a pound since we brought him home from the hospital (he lost half a pound after he was born). He now weighs in at whopping 5 and half pounds! He is gaining weight very quickly and the doctor is really pleased. We have been noticing chubby cheecks and fatter belly. Jacob also grew half and inch and is now 18 and half inches long.

Not much to say, just some pictures of the baby :)

One Week Old!

Jacob is one week old today. Some of his favorite things to do are:
1)Pee through his diaper, clothes, blanket, and co-sleeper sheet a few times each night. (I finally got smart and now we put the litle lap pad under him so Marc doesn't have to change the sheet in the middle of the night we just change out the pad.)
2)Sleep, sleep, and sleep (except at night). We have to wake him during the day to eat but not at night!
3)Poop!!
His current goal is to gain as much weight as possible and we are working hard to feed him as much as he will eat.
Here we are making him take his one week pictures. He is not to happy about it.

First Week at Home

Here are some pictures of Jacob's first week at home.

Because Grandpa Gordon thinks he is sooooo funny.

The next day

The next day and you can see how much hair Jacob has.

It's a Boy!!!

Just wanted to point out that everyone, but Marc said the baby was going to be a girl. Big Marc stuck to his guns and on Friday August 13th at 3:03 pm Jacob Edward Nelson was born he was 5.08 pounds,and 18 inches long.
