Our Danny Jared

8 pounds 2 ounces, 21 1/2 inches long
Born right on time, June 17th at 11:02pm




We've been thanking our Heavenly Father day and night for so sweetly and directly answering our prayers for a successful VBAC labor and delivery, which was much more swift than we expected (around 4 hours long!) and dream-fulfilling by being an entirely natural, drug-free birth. (Holy cow, I thought my life was ending!) I recall biting, kicking, screaming louder than anything I've ever heard before, telling Jared to kill me, and asking the doctor to just reach in there and pull him out! I don't know how many times I screamed 'I can't!', but my best friend was by my side, lifting and holding me, insisting I could. And somehow I did. I can't wait to write about the entire experience.

Life is good!

  4. YEAH!!!!! I'm so glad he arrived so safely and quickly. Jared told me the story and I'm so amazed. What a beautiful boy he is. I love his coloring. I can't wait to see him and steal Morgan away for a couple hours-so you can take a rest. Great job!
