Sleep

September 25

Colleen and I went to Victoria for the day, and this little man was as grumpy and edgy as a cat in a room full of rocking chairs, but he would NOT sleep. By the time we hit the Malahat, he was gone. SO tired.

Toybox Fun

September 24

We came around the corner and found Jacob like this. He'd thrown a bunch of stuff out of the toybox so he could sit in it.

"Hey Momma, what are you doin' back there" Can I help?"

Hi, I'm Deneen!

Welcome to my blog! This is the first Blog Hop I've done.

Now to introduce myself and my family. I've been married to Eric for almost three years, and we have an almost two-year-old son who is our pride and joy, named Jacob. This is my Project 365 blog for Jacob. The plan is to put a picture up for each day of 2009, but life has thrown so much craziness at us. My son Jacob has gone in for two surgeries on his eyes and up until recently, was a regular at BC Children's Hospital. He has been transferred now to a doctor on the Island, so we're really excited. He's a very strong little boy, and we're really proud of him. To read more about his surgeries, click the "surgery" tag. For the Project 365 pics, please click the "project 365" tag.

A VERY proud moment

May 20

See that picture in the center? I'm the one on the far left. This was a very proud day for me. It was the unveiling of the 2010 Breastfeeding Photo Contest. Myself and the two other women, along with our children, were invited as special guests, having been past winners. We got to meet our MP and everything! It was quite a day.

I'm sooooooooooo cute!

There's no words. This is pure joy.

Eternal Gratitude

May 8

This is the doctor who did Jacob's surgery. His eye looked better less than 24 hours after this surgery than his right eye did, a week after the last surgery. Our experience with this doctor has been night-and-day different than with the last one. Our family is very grateful for that.

This is the day we came home.

He's all right.

"Hi Momma! I had surgery yesterday, and I'm still hurting a lot, but I'm OK!"

Surgery

May 6

It's surgery day! Here's Jacob playing in the Surgical Daycare playroom. He had fun, even though he had to get 16b drops over the span of one hour.

Just cause I like this picture.

In recovery **cry**
I don't think this part of surgery gets any easier, to be honest. At this point, Jacob could barely rouse himself, and it was very frustrating for him. I remember the "hospital smell" that he had, it's one of the smells I dislike the most. My biggest plan was to get him back to the Easter Seal House, and sponge off as much of the smell as I could.
