Jacob Day 2

[Details to be filled in: but that thing is called a CPAP. It keeps his lungs inflated when he exhales; they were collapsing.]

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.]
