The Arrival of Jacob David

Jacob David officially joined our family on April 16th at 12:20 pm.  He weighed 7 pounds and 2 ounces and was 19 &1/2 inches long.  He has been such a wonderful addition to our family.  Between Jacob and Aubree, our hearts are overflowing with love and absolute joy!
Here is the story of his arrival......in pictures!

Delivery was fast yet not as smooth as with Aubree.  

To summarize, I went into labor with out having to be induced as planned, I became dehydrated, ran

a fever, Jacobs heart rate kept dropping, and to top it off...the epidural didn't work so well.  

Contractions at 10 cm are killer!  JD was amazing through it all!

5 rounds of pushes and there he was!

Healthy baby boy!  

Proud Daddy!

I really thought he would have dark hair and dark eyes!  Under that

hat he has blonde peach fuzz!

Aubree is truly the best big sister!  She LOVES her little brother!

Her first time to hold Jacob was so precious.  She was so tickled that

he was finally here.  She says that mommy has an "all gone belly."

To see a 2 year old give love the way Aubree does is amazing!  

She told us, "I love this sweet boy!"

After 3 long days we finally got to go home to start the next chapter in our book of life!
