Baby Jack

Baby Jack was born on February 12 at 8:30am. We scheduled a c-section and went in at 5am. These are the pictures right after he was born. He weighed 7 lbs 8oz and was 20 in long. Creighton said he was sucking and trying to eat the minute he came out and he hasn't stopped since. He seems to be starving and wants to eat all of the time. No one under 18 was able to go to the hospital because of swine flu, so the kids couldn't see him until he was 4 days old. They are all very helpful and fight over who can hold him. Ben said, " Baby Jack is just a bundle of love." We all love him and it is so nice to have a newborn in our home. We love his smell, his lamb cry and the spirit knowing he was just living in Heaven. After a hard pregnancy, all of the pain is worth it when I hold him. How could we not love this precious little baby.
