The baby is here! He was born yesterday afternoon. Both he and Lexie seemed healthy the last time I saw them. Labor went without any serious complications. Jacob did have the cord wrapped around his neck so he came out a smurf but after getting some oxygen and getting degunked he started breathing well on his own and was able to get his blood oxygen level to a good range.
The boilerplate stats are:
Name: Jacob Kent Gordon
Birthday: August 19, 2008
Birth time: 1:24 PM
Birth weight: 9 lbs. 1 oz.
Tyrell and Dallin both start school today. Ty is in the third grade Dallin is in the first grade. I came home to spend the night with the four oldest to help get a good start on school. I was delighted that the kids got to sleep at a good hour last night I was afraid the excitement of the baby and school together would have them all up past midnight but everyone was asleep by 8:30 PM. I haven't made up my mind yet as to whether or not to put Ty and Dallin on the bus on their first day. I am leaning toward it just to get the driver used to picking them up and getting them used to riding the bus, however I also would like to drop in and meet their teachers. I'll probably do both, put them on the bus and then meet them a bit later at school.
Here are some pictures of Jacob ... Oh yeah Lexie wanted me to tell people in case they didn't know if you click on a picture it will bring up a gallery of photos, some of which are on the blog page, some of which are not.
About 20 minutes old.
A brief little visit to the ICU to make sure his O2 levels got up.
Babies really do get a rough introduction to the world. I assured him it gets better. Most of the time ...
Mom and baby. See Jacob I told you it gets better.
Jacob is a cutie!
Meeting the brothers and sister.
I am always amazed at how big the previous youngest looks next to a new baby.
I would be tired too. In fact I am!
