Jakob has been on my mind a lot lately. Like what would he be like, what would he look like.
This isn’t new, it happens every few months but I’ve started calling G Jakob, which is new. And very frustrating because I get mad at myself for doing it, and then I get sad.

When Noah was an infant he often woke up with really gunky eyes. Not pink eye but an over abundance of yellow goo. Our Public Health nurse came over and asked us to try squirting breastmilk into his eyes. I did and after two or three feedings and subsequent squirts the goo didn’t come back [...]

Between the ages of 5-17 I was very rarely kid-like. I was my mom’s friend and safety blanket (we’ve [...]
