The journaling in the library pocket reads:

Seth,
I was so excited for you to join our family. I was excited to see Hannah with her baby brother. I had no idea how challenging your arrival would be. I didn't anticipate Hannah's difficulties in adjusting or your sleep habits. You were up much of the night, and slept a lot during the day. I spent most of the day protecting you from both Hannah's frustration and Hannah's love. I was in a daze of sleep deprivation, fear, and guilt. I didn't think that I was a good mom because I was having such a hard time. I was worried that you and I wouldn't have a close bond. I remember watching you sleep and wondering if I would ever adjust to our new life. Through it all, though, you were an easy going and happy boy. And things started to get better. Then at six weeks, you got sick. After a long day of tests and a chest x-ray at Primary Children's, we discovered infection in your lungs. You would cough so hard, and still stayed sweet and pleasant. It broke my heart that you took it all so well. You recovered quickly and I was surprised to realize that our connection was suddenly so strong. I never knew what a bond a mother and son could have. WIthour realizing it, many of my concerns had resolved. I loved you more than I thought possible and our lives were all better with you in them. Thank you for your patients and laid back temperament and giving me the time to become a better mom, while you were sleeping...
love,
mommy
