Eight is Enough!

This little guy just didn't want to get here. Poor Mom was in labor for 35 hours, 30 or so of them without an epideral as she wanted to deliver naturally. Well, Jesse just wasn't going to stand for that. He was posterior and wouldn't drop. Carly pushed for two hours before getting the epideral, but no go. After forceps and a lot of pushing he finally graced us with his presence on June 30th at 9 lbs. 1 oz and 21 inches long. He had some respiratory problems at first, but within a few hours was going great guns. He sure let everyone know his displeasure which let us know he was doing good. Anyway, we're just glad he's here, especially his Mom & Dad, Carly and Braden.

Isn't he a cutie? This was taken the second day so some of his battle scars from the forceps and trying to turn him are faded a little. Some of these marks are actually birthmarks. He was eight days over due, and I really wanted to wait around until he was born before traveling back to my hot town. I mean temperature wise. It's been hitting 90's and 100's before noon. Welcome Baby!
