10 Weeks and Getting Cuter Every Day!

Jacob turned 10 weeks this last Wednesday. He's doing so great and every day I'm so happy to be able to take care of him. He's taken to taking his naps in his swing and right now every once in awhile I fight the battle of getting him to sleep during the day in his crib. However, he's just so cute it's torture having to listen to the little guy scream his head off. Usually I give in and he gets to take a nice long nap in his swing. I guess I'll be fighting that battle at some time. The important thing to me right now is that he goes to sleep just fine at night in his crib. He's still waking up once a night at around 3am or 4am but usually goes right back to bed. I'm looking forward to a full nights sleep in the future but for now I'll just enjoy the late night cuddle time.

Recently we just took Jacob in for a hearing test. Right after he was born they did a hearing test on him which failed and had scheduled us for a more detailed test this last Thursday. What they discovered was that his right ear is completely fine but the test in his left ear revealed mild to moderate hearing loss. They said that normal conversation sounds like a whisper to him. This obviously is disheartening news because we want him to have everything including his hearing but we are trusting God and know that He has a plan for Jacob and for us. Jacob's pediatrician is going to refer us to an ear, nose, and throat doctor to try and discover more of why he is having this hearing loss. Fortunately, we were told that this shouldn't affect his speech development because he is hearing fully in his right ear. Please pray that Jacob's hearing will clear up or that we will be able to discover what can be done to heal his little ear. Despite all this news he is still perfect in every little way and continues to smile and coo more and more each day.

Making funny faces!
