After intense, but short-lived pain,this cute, perfect little bundle arrived.
(45 minutes from first real contration to delivery - and no epidural)
He weighed 8 lbs. 1 oz. and was 19 inches long.
Here's our little buddy on his first day on Earth:
My doctor is in the purple shirt. She missed the delivery because it happened so fast. The cute resident in the long sleeves ended up delivering him. I really liked her, but was sad Dr. Laine missed it. She didn't deliver Lauren either! Bad Luck!
Lauren got to stay with Grandma and Grandpa the night before he was born and they brought her to the hospital right away. She was so cute with him :)
Here he is 2 days later on the day we went home
You forget how tiny they are! (And Lauren was only 5 lbs 15 oz. when she was born!
They grow so fast - as I'm posting this, Jacob is already almost a month old! I already miss those very first moments and often think back on the time in the hospital when they handed him to me for the first time. The memory of the pain definitely fades quickly and now we have this little peaceful baby with us. What a blessing.
