Lilypie 1st Birthday Ticker

Jacob is born!

Wednesday, 27 May 2009 at 3:44 pm, Jacob Sanderson was born. That is a whole eight weeks early. He weiged 4 lbs 8 oz, and measured 17 1/2 inches long.

Here are the day's events:

9:00 am -- I am heading out the door to begin my bike-commute to work, and I notice Bethany isn't feeling so great. I tell her "I'll stay home for a few minutes [to watch Nathanael] while you take a shower." I took one when she was done.

9:45 -- Bethany thinks she's having contractions. I whip out an iPhone to start timing them.

10:00 -- These are very regular: 1 minute long, 4 minutes apart. She spends her time on the exercize ball while I hold her; inbetween, I start packing bags, calling midwives, changing Nathanael's diaper, answering phone calls (sorry if I was curt to anyone).

[more details will be filled in later; I'm just going to put up more pictures and fill in details later.]

Thank you for taking the time from your busy busy life to post these for us. Jacob is less then half the size you were when you were born Michael!

Love you
