3 Meses

Incleible como pasa el tiempo, ya mi Jacob casi cumple los 3 meses y yo lamentablemente me alisto para volver al trabajo. Estamos muy bien gracias a Dios, Jacob ha estado un poco enfermo tiene algo que en espanol parace que se llama reflejo, osea se le devuelve la comida y tiene como dolor en la boca del estomago que le dicen, agruras, asi que ha sido un poco dificil, ya le estamos dando medicina, pero tenemos semanas de estar durmiendo en la silla mecedora pues el no duerme de la incomodidad y solo con nosotros asi se duerme asi que ni modo, esperamos que ya la medicina le empieze hacer efecto en estos dias y que ya todos podamos dormir mejor, sobre todo el. La comida ya gracias a Dios no se le esta devolviendo pero hay que tener cuidado a la hora de sacarle el colico, la verdad el es un angelito se porta super bien, mas bien se rie cuando se le devuelve la leche, ha pecadito mi chiquito. Esta increiblmente hablantin igualito a la madre, mas bien creo que es por eso porque yo parezco una lora con el ahhh y el papa ni se diga. Estamos muy felices alistandonos para su primera navidad, ya pusimos el arbolito y esta facinado con las luces asi que la vamos a pasar aqui muy bien en familia, parece increible que hace un ano estabamos alistandonos para ir a Costa Rica y ahora ya tenemos un hijo. El tiempo pasa rapido y por eso aprovechamos al maximo de Jacob.

7 weeks

Mi papasito ya tiene 7 semanas es increible como pasa el tiempo, labentablemente ya me quedan 4 para estar con el y volver a trabajar asi que estoy aprovechandolas al maximo. Esta creciendo rapido, se rie bastante, habla montones ese ha sido el cambio mas lindo aparte de los cachetones que se tiene, esta hecho un rico. Estabamos teniendo problemas porque casi no queria dormir durante el dia, pero tristemente descubrimos que era porque no estaba comiendo suficiente, eso creemos porque antes combinabamos formula y mi leche pero ahora lo que hago es mejor porque un tiro le doy formula el otro de la mia, y la verdad a mi me sale bastantito, ahora come 4 oz cada tiro y queda noqueado asi que creemos ese era el motivo, ha pecadito michiquito. Vamos a ver como me va ha mi esta semana.

6 Semanas

Increible como el timpo pasa de rapido, ya mi Jacob tiene 6 semanas y esta cambiando cada dia. Gracias a Dios estamos bien, eso si de locos desde que mami se fue se me ha hecho un poco mas dificil las cosas, sobre todo comer y banarme, en realidad disfruto de los fines de semana cuando puedo tomarme mi tiempo para banarme ya que Chris esta aqui.
Jacob esta muy bien, comiendo montones, tuvimos que reforzar la formula ya que lamentablemente yo no produzco suficiente leche, pero el esta contento, casi no duerme durante el dia asi que se me complican un poco mas las cosas, y a veces ni en la noche quiere dormir entonces es bien cansado.
La tia fish le dice Judini porque no soporta que lo cobijemos bien apretado asi para que no mueva las manitas, y simpre encuentra la forma de salierse, lamentablemente no puedo dejar de hacerlo porque todavia no tiene control de las manos entonces el solito se despierta, es un poco dificil a veces, hay que luchar para que se quede. Estamos aprendiendo los dos el uno del otro.
Ahorita el ha cambiado bastante, ya sostiene la cabeza super bien, es muy fuerte ni se diga de los pies y las manos, ademas de eso sonrie montones y ya cuando uno le habla el tambien quiere hablar para atras asi que hace hace un monton de bulla.
El martes lo llevamos al Dr para que lo pesaran y ya pesa 9.2 lbs, asi que esta muy bine, tiene unas piernotas y hasta papada. Ademas de eso cuando llora se hecha unas lagrimotas que hasta que da lastima, esta que le gusta estar solo alzado y pues en realidad a mi no me sirve por lo de la beby sitter pero a la vez no me gusta dejarlo llorar asi que estamos en esas aprendiendo a convivir y a entendernos.

21 Days and counting!

Our little baby boy is already 21 days and counting; hard to believe how time fly's!

We cherish everyday that goes by and can't stop just staring at him. Jacob is much more active than he was the 1st few weeks. He stays up now quite a bit just looking around and taking it all in; loves spending time in mommy and daddy's arms. His skin is completely peeled now leaving it nice and soft but still with that great baby smell. He completely lost his belly button tie now and makes changing his diapers a breeze! :) That's a great thing being he goes thru so many a day. Who would've imagined so much could come out of someone so small?! It's hard going back to work and having to spend so much time away from Carol and the baby but mom's doing such a great job with him. Keep up the great work mommy!!!

Carol's mom and aunt have been here and have been a great help with the baby and around the house. Don't know what in the world we're going to do when there gone besides suffer and eat lots of take out? Anyone looking for some part time work as a nanny and work cheap??? Anyone :)

Thanks everyone for all the nice emails and your support. We hope we get to see everyone real soon and miss everyone so much.

Love you all Bunches!

Finally Here!!!

Oct. 2nd

Jacob Zachary has finally blessed us with his presence. He was born at 12:44 am on Sept. 25th; his exact due date, what a punctual little boy. He weighed in at 6lbs and 12.7 ounces and measured 19 1/4 inches long, so tiny and adorable. It was a crazy ride and a long day for both Mommy and Daddy, more so for Mommy, but we are so lucky to have received such a precious little gift from God.

Mommy took such great care of herself it definitely shows in every way with Baby Jacob. He has such precious eye's, ears, little hands and feet...and of course, the Martinez nose. We couldn't have dreamed for anything better than what were blessed with in our little boy Jacob. He is so quite and doesn't fuss unless he has something to really fuss about, i.e. wet/poopy diaper or being hungry. He loves to eat and is growing by the day; it's hard to believe it's already been a week since his arrival.

Happy Birthday Jacob, 1 week already!!!

Since he eats every 2-3 hrs, of course, we get no rest. He doesn't like when he's wet or when he has poop, but of course, who would like that; right!!!!! So it seems like by the time we're done with feeding and everything, it's almost time to start over again. We're enjoying every second and we don't care about the lack of sleep; we really wanted this and we are very happy and blessed. We have to enjoy and take advantage every second because they change and grow so quickly; he even looks different now at only a week old. He's little hands and feet are not wrinkled anymore, he's almost completely peeled and his hair isn't flat anymore. He smiles a lot and he stays up longer now than before, definitely more alert. As new parents there are lots of things that we don't know and are just learning as the minutes go by. Even though we took just about every class, it's much different.

The 1st diaper change at the hospital was a funny experience. They had just brought out Jacob to us for the 1st time when we noticed his diaper needed changing. So Chris called the nursery and told them his diaper needing changing like if it was a nanny service , hahahahaha. Well , they said....'you can do it, everything you need is there in the crib'.....LOL!!!!! So that's how he learned, right there, 1st time. Some of the clothes that we have bought for him was thought to be too small, so tiny that I didn't wash them because I thought he was not going to use them. We bought lots of his clothes over sized since we were told they grow so fast, well, when we got home we had to rush and wash the clothes we one day thought would be too small. So now we're washing his clothes every day to every other day because he doesn't have that many tiny clothes. Some still just look big on him. So lots of unexpected things have happened but that's part of our new role and I'm sure things will continue to happen. All we can do is just laugh, or cry, and tell the stories one day to our Jacob. :) This was a life changing expierence for both of us and we couldn't be happier.

We can't wait for everyone to come visit and enjoy getting to know Jacob just as much as we have over the last week.


Mommy & Daddy love you Jacob!!!

Baby Jacob

Sept 24th, 2008

Well, it's 3:41pm and still not baby Jacob yet. We've been at the hospital since 10pm last night and nothing yet; we can't wait for him to come out so we can shower him with hugs and kisses but, I guess he's just not ready yet.

Carol and baby are doing great and she's actually getting some rest as I blog.

We'll keep everyone posted as the day goes on; wish us luck!!!

Love everyone.
