so jake is now 11 months old (!!!) and we do a lot of reading. right now the books we read are mostly short board books that he has a hard time lasting through without trying to chew on the corner. i love reading, and i really hope he acquires a love for books like mine. i can't wait for him to fall in love with my favorite children's books. my mom is a lover of books as well, and she has amassed a small treasure trove of my brothers and my favorite books as children for jake and her future grandchildren. lately i've been thinking of some of the ones i for sure want to own for when jake actually has the patience to sit and listen to a whole book start to finish (then beg me to read it again). here are some of my favorites (and my brothers too... hopefully jake won't mind a princess or two in his stories).

Jacob Scott Langlow has arrived and he is absolutely precious!! i couldn't feel more blessed to have him here and out of my belly, phew. it is such a relief to be done with pregnancy. i am sure that in the future i will be missing the feeling, but honestly, right now i am so happy to have my body back, even if it is sore, stitched, and swollen. i am always interested in other's birth stories, and before Jacob got here i was reading them by the hundreds on pregnancy boards, anticipating what it would be like for me. throughout my pregnancy i had many braxton hicks (painless contractions), so when the began to actually become uncomfortable, i was hoping the time was near. they began to feel painful on wednesday, the 21st, and although i slept, i woke up periodically throughout the entire night. the contractions at this point were not really time-able. thursday the contractions continued throughout the day, but i didn't really time them. i was able to handle the
