Jacob Aaron Smith, due to arrive on January 24th of this year, surprised his parents and arrived 11 weeks early on November 16th, 2005. Weighing in at 3lbs. 3oz. and measuring 16" long, he was a good-size and the doctors were pleased with his condition considering the incredibly early arrival. He is now 7lbs. 6oz (measured yesturday) and continuing to develop rapidly. The hope is to bring him home within the next 2-3 weeks and I can't imagine how anxious Aaron and Becky are to have this happen!
So, considering the events of the past few months, the baby shower for Jacob was rather forcibly moved from November 12th of 2005 to today, January 14th, 2006. It was a lovely time of encouraging Becky as she has transitioned so rapidly into a rather unusual Mom role, playing ORIGINAL baby shower games, sipping on incredible libations and devouring fine cuisine such as quiche and scones, coffee cake and fruit, deviled eggs and sausage... simply delicious. Held at Becky's sister's home in Carnation, also known as Beau Jardin, we found ourselves enveloped with relaxation and good company; gorgeous grounds and a 'hostess with the mostest'. It was a wonderful three hours - they simply flew by.
Aaron and Becky (left), you have done so much in Jacob's life already and he loves you and KNOWS you, I'm sure of it. Continue to be consistent and persistent in your love towards this little man and may God bless you. Thanks for letting me share in such a wonderful celebration of his life.

Krista...Thank you so much for coming to the shower! Your kind words truly bless my heart. You are an admirable example of a beautiful and loving mother with Katie and Baby Boy Schei. Thank you for sharing your stories and words of wisdom. I always take them to heart!
