JIP has arrived! - No he's not jaundiced - YET.












He was born 7lbs 11 oz yesterday at 3:52pm with the cord tightly wrapped around the neck (a family tradition) and spent some time in the transition nursery the rest of the day. We have enjoyed having him with us most all of the day today. He is pretty sleepy and still working on having a desire to eat.

His brothers are enjoying him; his grandma W adores him; and his Dad holds him every chance he gets!

I am well and looking forward to going home - I think. . . the cookies here are good, the meal service isn't bad and I don't have to climb the stairs. Hmmmmm? Maybe I should stay?

Let's not beat around the bush. I am excited to meet my newest nephew. When are you guys coming back out here? :) I am grateful everyone is doing well and everything went well.

Oh you had but a wee one ;) What a fun weight though. He looks adorable and I'm glad to hear things went well. We were sad to check out of Hotel GBMC.

Congratulations! I am so happy for you guys. When Emily and Emery were born I stayed at the hospital as long as I could. That was the calm before the storm. I actually got to sit and let people wait on me. Enjoy the new guy!

As a side note, I think you need to start planning your trip to Texas. You wouldn't have to go all the way to Houston, you could just come to Dallas and see both Rainie and I. Or maybe a weekend trip somewhere in the middle for just us ladies (and the newest little one of course)!

Congrats! He is adorable! I love having a boy! I don't know why I was nervous before. What a journey you have had! Did Jeff tell you we see him and the other boys in UT! Too bad we missed you!
