Baby News Flash

But Flash because if you weren't careful you would have missed him arriving! Our baby Wesley finally came to see us today at 6:50am after we only got to the hospital somewhere between 5:45 and 6:00. When we got in they verified that Jacie's water had broken without a doubt but that she was only at "almost" 4cm dilated. But since we knew we were staying I ran to the car to get the bags and when I get back they were working on getting an IV for pain meds. However, during the course of trying to find a good vein to stick her with, Jacie told them she was starting to feel the urge to push. One nurse asked if she had checked recently and she kind of agreed to check again but it had only been about 15-20min at this point. Well the look on her face was pretty priceless as she started trying to grab the phone but keep checking Wesley because he was well on his way! The doctor arrived a few minutes later (after a short, flurry of activity completely changed the room to get ready for delivery) and he gave Jacie the go ahead to push. 4 Pushes later, little Wesley was out, getting cleaned up and crying. He got 8 out of 9 on his tests and weighed 6lbs 14oz and was 18in long. Both Jacie and Wesley are doing great (in fact Jacie said she barely even feels like she had a baby) and we are just in the hospital on the mandatory time frame for newborns but right now it looks like we are on track to head home tomorrow afternoon sometime. But enough with my typing.... on to pictures! Happy Birthday Wesley! Jacie, Carly, and I are so glad you are here with us!
