A Month of Growing

So - you are now a month old. Well 4 weeks and 6 days in this photo. I am so beyond impressed with the things you can do. You hold your head up, you roll to your side, you found your thumb, you make bubbles with your mouth... the list goes on.

Your bubble making abilities.

When you found your thumb!

I am beyond blessed to be your mother. I continue to find out more about your birth story and with each piece of information I get the more I believe you were a miracle baby. I found out you were actually blue when you came out. There was a possibility had your arm not kept the cord from coming around your neck you would have been a still born baby. I thank God for hearing the prayers, I thank God for protecting you, I thank God for you coming 8 days early. I know with every bit of your creation God was there every step of the way.

We also got your birth certificate and your social security card this week. You are officially a United States Citizen! You are officially Eddison Dee Jacobson! Congratulations my little angel. We welcome you with open arms and many hugs.

You are my amazing daughter. For these last 5 weeks I have done nothing but enjoy the time I have with you. I can not think of anywhere else I would rather be. I am your momma and I only want to do what is right by you. I know working may be something your daddy and I have to rethink. I want to work, but I want to do what is right for you.

The belly photo was a week before you arrived!

I pray God is listening and will provide for our family. I have no doubt everything will work the way it should.

Oh, Eddison. You are the most amazing thing that has ever happened to me. Being a mother is the greatest gift anyone could ever give. Being your mother is even better. You are the best baby.

You sleep for roughly 6-8 hours a night, you feed every 2-3 hours, you are so bright eyed all the time, you hold your head high, and you are already "talking". I am so proud!


I can remember taking the test to find out if you were coming. When the little lines appeared I wanted to jump up and down. Instead I walked into the closet and jumped there quietly. I couldn't wait to tell your dad, but I wanted to do it sneaky like. So I waited until after work and announced. Now 9+ months later you are in our lives and we will never be the same. I am so happy that test was positive and you made it here.

So, there are the updates, the thoughts, the joy... it all adds up to this one statement.

I love you Eddison Dee Jacobson!
