Baby "Jack"

7 lbs 15 oz 21 1/2 inches

Kire was so excited for his baby brother.  He wanted to see his fingers and toes and immediatley asked to see my belly to make sure he had really come from there.  I also had to explain breast-feeding to him, which was interesting.

My blood pressure had been high since last Thursday and when I went to my doc yesterday it was still high, so she sent me to the hospital to get started.  It was a long day, we started the drugs at about 11 am, but once she broke my water at around 7, I progressed fast.  My nurse came into check me and I was dilated to a 7 and when my doctor came in 30 minutes later she said we were ready to go.  Erik quickly called my mom, who was down the hall with Kire; she ran and barely made it into the room in time.  He called his parents too, but it was all over within 10 minutes!  I only had to push a couple of times and he was out.  

So we have a beautiful, healthy baby boy, but still haven't quite decided on a name.  We're still leaning toward Jack.  More pictures to come!

I am so happy for you Skye. Your experience sounds similar to mine. Damn Brimley high blood pressure.

Jack sounds like a great name to me.
