Elias Chillaxing with his Daddy!
This shot is of Elias on the couch late at night with Dad. When I get home from work, I get to hang out with Elias as much as possible while Nikki tried to rest as much as she can. This usually mean Elias gets “tummy time” with Dad while I watch TV, a movie,…

Long Weekend!
3/18/2008 I shot this when I got home tonight. It’s Elias in his crib swaddled. It seems this helps him sleep in his crib a bit better. He loves sleeping on either of us, but sometimes when we set him in the crib alone he wakes right up… Who knows though, maybe it’s just each…

New Lens: Canon 16-35L II
I picked up a canon 16-35mm f/2.8 L II today. I’ve had a 17-40mm L for a while now and it’s a fantastic lens. There are 2 reasons for the 16-35 though; it’s one stop faster, and it’s 1mm wider. That doesn’t seem like much, but I’ve noticed I’ve been shooting the fisheye a lot…

New Lens: Canon 24L
Well I picked a new lens today. I’ve had a canon 28mm f/1.8 for a while now and I’ve been unhappy with it’s AF. I picked up the canon 24mm f/1.4 L to replace it. It’s a wonderful lens, but it’s much bigger and heavier. The focus is lightning quick and the IQ is amazing,…

More Visitors!
We’ve had a nice slow Saturday around the house today. Elias again only needed one feeding in the night (and Nikki probably needed it just as bad at this point!). Everyone got a decent night sleep. We woke up pretty early to feed him, then I stayed awake with him sleeping on my chest in…

First day back to work…
No fun at all. I’ll admit I shed a tear or two leaving Elias and Nikki (with Debbie) home alone. It’s been tough in the office all day missing them and the fact that I’m exhausted. It’s not just that I’m tired but it’s that I’m actually doing mentally demanding work. Diaper changes are easy…

Home at last…
Well we’re home!!! We finally made it home around 4pm. The Chinese food my Mom had picked up for me for lunch made a wonderful dinner for me and Nikki. As with everything else with this process it took way longer than it should have to leave the hospital. Check out is 11am, we left…

Happy Birthday Elias Andrew Jacobsen!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cgw8o_DAxFk Well he’s here!!! Elias Andrew Jacobsen was born at 8:43pm on Sunday. He weighed in at 7lbs 13oz and has yet to be measured (they wait until they stretch a bit). He was grunting when he was born so he did have to take a trip to the NICU for an hour. He recovered…

Looks like a birthday!
It’s been an exciting day so far. We’re at the hospital. No baby yet, but he is on his way… Nikki’s had en epidural and is feeling great, but tired (she’s trying to nap right now). She’s 100% effaced and is dilated 4cm. This is the beginning of active labor, so they say 1cm every…

Today?!
Nikki came down at 12:30 this morning (I was watching TV on the couch) with some interesting news. She was woken up by a cramp and went to the bathroom… While there the “plug” fell out into the toilet and she had “show”(both signs something could be starting, google them if you must)… So now…
