Daniel got his first casts put on today. He is very uncomfortable and in need of being held constantly (which we don't mind). If we put him down he pretty much has a melt down and changing his diaper breaks my heart because he screams the entire time. The few times he has screamed have been so intense that he has little red dots popping up all over his face where, I assume, he has broken small blood vessels. We are told that by tomorrow he should be adjusted to them, I sure hope so because I just about cry every time I hear him crying. Here are some pictures for you to see what his casts looks like. I sure hope the time will fly by quickly and we can be done with all of this.
For my daily score because I had Brent with me all day I will say the parents won out. Today went a lot better than yesterday - other than poor Daniel having such a hard time with his new casts.
Poor little guy! But you are right as you tell yourself that it will help him and needs to be done but babies are so precious it is hard to see them anything other than happy. It sounds like things are going the best they can so that is good. I know how you feel with the not enough sleep thing. Abby is sleeping less now and I'm lucky it I get about 5 hour a night. I'm afraid it makes me kind of grumpy. Well keep smiling and sleep as much as you can.
Awh man. My brother-in-law and his son both had that done when they were little. My nephew had to wear corrective shoes forever. Poor little guy. I hope everything goes OK! :)

I HATE when my babies cry! It is so hard! He is such a cutie though! I can't get over how big Jacob is!! Such handsome boys! You look great too!
