Amazing Day! Jacob enters the world

Well we just got home from the hospital. man that was the craziest experience ever! Things people dont tell you. I may actually do a blog for that for the people that don't have kids. Thats another story in itself.

Sarah started feeling pressure about 9:30 on the 19th , the actual due date. We went for walks and many other things to get this show on the road. Finally after a long walk she started feeling contractions every 3-5 minutes for about 2 hours. So she got nervous. We called everyone and even the doctor said to go down to the hospital. So we jumped in tthe car and low and behold when we got there they pains went away. we walk around the perimeter of the hotel to try to jump start them but to no avail. She said well lets just go get a check up and see since we are here then we can leave. We left soon after that, like 2 days because along came a new face into the world.

From the time she got her epidural to the time Jacob shot into the world was about 7 hours, but we entered the hospital afte the walk at midnight the night before. From the time we were admited to the time Jacob came was about 14 hours. Sarah only pushed for about 45 minutes. She had a mirror that she could look at. she said it helped tremedously. She only pushed for 45 minutes and when she finally saw the head she gave one push that lasted like alomost 60 seconds. he went from crown to feets in 60 seconds. Kinda like the movie gone in 60 seconds. Maybe he'll be a racecar driver or something.

Wow he came out and they shoved him in my face. I say it like that because the poor guy looked like gollum from lord of the rings or that thing in the 80's flick "total recall" as Luke said. Now all babies that come natually have a misshaped head but not Jacob. It was perfect. Perfectly jacked up! He had a lump that came off the side of his head so big the doctor jumped. She even got excited and said measure that it's huge. It thought it was a tumor or something so when He was in my face I was taken back for a second but not only long enough to pull out the cell phone came and snap a pick to send all waiting.

After he came out they spent the next 20 minutes sewing Sarah up. Because she pushed so hard the doctor had to use a lot of stitches. I want to spare Sarah of being embarassed but the doctor even started that she would have done it differently if she had know it would have been that bad.

For anyone that has been through this experience you know I obviously left out some very gruesome details but you can ask and we will talk about it.

He came into the world 22 inches (23 with wired bump on the side of his head) and 9.50 lbs. Everyone says he looks like me. I dont know I just know its wierd that I'm a freakin dady. How cool!
