Here He Is


I think most of you know by now that I had the baby. No one voted for the right date on the survey. Jacob was born the 11th at 8:49 PM. After Emma's short 6 hour labor I thought this time would be about the same or shorter. I was way off. His labor was longer than Christine's. We went into the hospital Tuesday night, and he didn't come until Wednesday night. Thankfully I didn't contract the whole time, but I was pretty bored waiting for things to pick back up. The delivery was the shortest of all the kids - 2 contractions worth of pushing and he was here. He is also the smallest of the kids, by 10 oz.

Christine says he is the cutest brother of all time. I agree. Emma loves to kiss him and his face is frequently wet from her kisses. He is such a good baby! We are truly blessed, again. Wendy, if you are reading this, you and your family were life savers! The girls adore all of you and had such a good time. Christine has named one of her stuffed animals Olivia. Thank you for taking my kids. We would have been lost without you. You're the best!
