Preparing for Yosemite

Posted by Missy Roberts at 12:05 AM About Jake

This morning we went and had our new car seat installed properly.  Bill actually installed it correctly, we just had to tighten it some more.  Jacob was not pleased when he first got in the car seat.  The straps were a little uneven and one side was much tighter than the other.  Later in the evening I was looking online to figure out how to fix the straps and realized our carseat is being recalled!   ARe you kidding me????  Apparently something is wrong with the straps (which is why they were uneven and the manufacturer just has to send out a fix-it kit.  Unfortunately, Jacob will have to use his old car seat for our trip to Yosemite.  Oh well.  I'm glad I found that out before we left. 

This evening I noticed a little bump on Jacob's head.  Neither Bill nor I really knew when he got that. We think he got it while we were messing with the playyard in the guest room.  He was playing on the floor near the end table and then all of a sudden he started crying.  Maybe he hit is head on the table.  Oopps!  I guess this is the first of several bumps on the head...hopefully they are all minor like this one was.  I was going to take a picture, but he fell asleep before I had a chance, maybe I will take it in the morning, if it's still there! (hopefully it won't be:) )

The rest of the day we spent preparing for our trip.  There is a lot of packing to do for the little one.  We have everything ready to go as we will depart at 3am on Friday morning.  It will be a long day, and I hope Jacob does well with the ride there.  We'll just have to pray for that. 

I think I'm a little nervous because I can't sleep (which is why I'm writing at this insane hour) and my neck is starting to hurt again.  Oh well, I'm sure it will all go away once we get there. 

So we will write again when we return from our camping trip and write about everything that happened up there.  I am bringing a notebook to keep a journal for Jacob and then I can transfer it onto the blog.  So until then...mommy and daddy love you!
