More pictures of Jacob Curtis Webster

So two things are now known about our new little man:

1. He LOVES to sleep and has to be woken up for most feedings
2. He needs to gain a little weight back as he doesn't eat enough cause he's always sleeping:-)

Not to worry though. He is becoming a more voracious eater by the day and the doctors and nurses we have consulted are not worried as he is finally starting to eat enough to sustain and gain weight as he should. They'll weigh him again at his next checkup in a few days and we'll see how everything is.

Besides that both Jake and Shan are doing great. They both came home from the hospital Saturday afternoon and it's been a lot of fun having everybody under the same roof again. Brooke and Bry both want to see and help with Jake as much as possible but unfortunately because they both started getting sick the only thing they can do is look from afar. They have both been great about this and understand that they don't want to get their new little brother sick.

Enjoy the pics and I also posted some videos at the bottom that aren't necessarily of anything special but just show how Jake moves and what he sounds like a little bit.



Jake tends to flash little smiles while he sleeps which is kind of fun to watch.



"You talkin' to me"














A better look at Jake's big lips which along with his hair are the two things people comment most about.


It's funny to think one day this little guy may be bigger than me.



Has anyone seen the large binky?




Time to go home

Introducing Jacob Webster!!

Well after almost 9 full months of waiting our new little boy is finally here! The delivery went smoothly with both Shan and Jakie making it through without any problems. I convinced the nurses in the nursery to let me give little Jake his first bath (with a little assistance:-) and although the little guy doesn't like to open his eyes much yet we were still able to grab a few good pictures for everyone to enjoy. Brooke and Bry both love their new little brother and both got a chance to hold and take care of him a little bit and we are all excited to now be a family of 5!!! Thanks to everyone for their continued help and support and look for more pics and updates to come


First picture with new baby Jake


One of the only pictures we got of Jake with his eyes open. It's still hard to tell color but they look bluish to me. Only time will tell





















The first tiny hints of a smile showing through.







Happy new mother and baby!!!

Brooke insists she is old enough to babysit now that she has 2 younger brothers. Who am I to argue?
