Jacob was making eyes at a lady at the Saturday Market yesterday and she asked how old he is. "Almost nine months!", I told her. "Wow," she said, "almost longer out than in." I thought about it for a moment and realized that, due to his early arrival, Jacob has actually passed the point when he has been alive on the outside longer than he lived on the inside. I can hardly believe it. Time goes by so much quicker now than it did when I was pregnant.

I really liked being pregnant, and I miss it sometimes, but as much as I enjoyed carrying the little Bean around in my tummy, I'm so much happier getting to carry him around out here where I get to see his smiles and hear his little voice.

Happy Valentines Day, Jacob! I love you!
