Jacob Thomas' arrival






Our precious baby has finally arrived!! After a very fast labor of 5 and a half hours, Jacob Thomas arrived at 10:31am on August 7th, 2008. Jacob weighed 9lbs, 8oz and was 21 3/4 inches long. At 17 days old he already had gained 2 lbs. He is a very healthy little boy and a big eater! We are so blessed to have Andrew and Jacob in our home, they provide both a challenge and great joy every day! It is so wonderful to watch them grow and learn new things. I will try to find the time to keep new pics up... life has gotten a whole lot busier these days!Jacob's first sponge bath.Proud momma with her 2 boys!Dad gets some shut eye while holding his new son.
The new big brother holds Jacob for the first time - about an hourt after the birth.A waterbirth in the comfort of home with family at my side - my dream birth experience!Finally in the tub, at 10 cm!
