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!

I've been checking back here almost everyday to see if you had put pictures on or not. Jacob looks so big (especially in the picture with Andrew!). Glad you all are doing great. Talk to you later.
