Nicknames One of the things that’s amazing is how quickly we have given Jacob nicknames to describe his behaviors. One of the first was “Burrito Boy” in reference to the way he was swaddled and wrapped up like a Chipotle special.

2 week checkup
2 week checkup Well, Jacob went and visited the doctor today. Verdict: he’s healthy. 9.5 pounds, 21 in. long, right in the middle of the growth curves. He also got his first immunization today: hepatitis B. He had his first big spit up yesterday with Laureen. We’ve both experienced the firehose effect after you remove …

What’s left to do
What’s left to do 1. Pay April Bills. 2. File Income taxes. Note: I hate the tax season. I’ll like it a lot next year, when I’ve got a bouncing baby deduction, but for now, grumble grumble grumble. 3. Get Laureen packed up for hospital. 4. Get the cable modem moved to the other room. …
