Jacob James Arnold

Jacob was born on January 4th at 5:39 pm. He weighed 6 pounds 1 ounce and was 18 3/4 inches long. We are both so happy and can't believe we had a boy. Megan managed to go through without any drugs .... amazing! She is doing very well and we are working on the whole resting thing.

The whole experience was pretty amazing. Most of the nurses were really good. We had a nurse named Beth who made the labor experience that much better. She made Megan and myself feel encouraged during the whole process.

The extremly super short version is that Megan's water broke at around 11:30 am in the tub. We arrived at the hospital close to noon. She had started having heavier contractions at around 3 am the night before .... so we knew we were getting close. Once we got to the hospital, things seemed to go very slow (the labor process), but time was flying by. Megan stayed dialated from 3 1/2 to 4 for most of the time and the next thing we knew she was at about 9. Soon enough she pushed hard 3 times, and we had a boy. Crazy!

I couldn't be more proud of both Megan and Jacob. It truly will be a day I will never forget.

Thanks for all the emails and calls many of you have been sending. We would love to have Jacob spend some time with all of you real soon.

Jacob continues to work on his eating and getting his weight up so he can play all kind of sports with dad and chase after the ladies.

More pics to come!
