He's Here!

Just a quick post to say that Mr. Henry James decided to come 2 weeks early! Our little man (and yes he was actually little, no world record for length this time) joined our family Friday evening, December 2 at 9:00 just as the Ducks won the Pac 12 championship. It really was a little too much excitement for Jake. Henry was 19 inches and 6 pounds 10 ounces of pure adorableness.

We had a really smooth labor and delivery. I was at work almost all day on Friday thinking I was experiencing Braxton Hicks. Apparently I was unaware that Braxton Hicks do not intensify and get closer together...only real contractions do! I already had a 4:30 weekly appointment that afternoon so we kept the appointment. I had three contractions while in the waiting room, was quickly seen and then sent straight to the hospital where we had Henry four hours later.

We are all doing well and loving our sweet boy...although Housh still hasn't decided if he's a fan or not!
