You sure do realize how hard it would be to be a single parent in times when you are so helpless. Thursday night and Friday I could not have taken care of Jacob if I had to. I would have had to have help. Even Brian being healthy can only handle so much of being a sole provider and taking care of the house while I was sick. We're lucky to have a pretty good routine down and we're lucky to have each other, and especially little baby J :)
Jacob is growing like a weed (what's new!) He hasn't been weighed since his appointment, but he is outgrowing many of his 3-6 month outfits (at 4.5 months old). He is getting stronger every day. He is starting to sit up on his own very briefly and he'll even pull himself up to a seated position if he can grab your arm or a pillow to help pull himself up. He's really reaching for things now too. In his jumperoo he will reach for the toys around the jumperoo now and his feet can just about reach the floor! When I was so sick all weekend I took a few baths for my achy body and we would put Jacob in too (might as well bathe him while we're at it). He loved it, like a big pool for him, but warm! He laid on his back and just kicked and kicked and smiled and had the best time. He doesn't even get too mad when you take him out, he's just very content around the water all together!
