Jacob Mathew


At 8:12pm today, our boy, Jacob Mathew, was born.  He weighed in at 4lbs 10.8 oz and is 17.25 inches long.  He arrived a few weeks early, being due January 26th.  


From 1st contraction to delivery was 82 minutes.
His elevated heart rate and mom's high white blood cell count triggered the events of the evening.  They induced her fairly soon after getting her to the room.  After that, it all happened pretty quickly.

Now, time for a little rest for all involved.

Double Congrats!!!! You look like you had a healthy baby boy and you didn't have to suffer through the worst part of pregnancy. I love his name too.

Enjoy everysecond of it. Grant has already doubled his birth weight. You wait sooo long ot have them and then they grow uo way too fast.
