Baby Jacob has Arrived!

Well, I am writing this on my original day i was scheduled to deliver our new little man...however, he is already 8 days old!! Yup, he was ready to come to our house a bit earlier than expected.

On December 8, Bill, me and the two boys drove to SLC and back to pick up our sweet new crib and dresser for Jacob's nursery. We ran into heavy snow and yuck and pretty much picked the worst day ever to make a "quick run" and back!! After unloading and setting up the dresser, getting some baby clothes out to wash the next day, I went to bed feeling excited about the new purchase and the thought of being all ready and organized before the big arrival. However, there were other plans in the works I guess!! At about 1:30 AM I started having some contractions. Then after tossing and turning in bed, my water broke and then the contractions started to be about 3 minutes apart....yeah, no turning back! We made it to the hospital (thank goodness it is only like 2 minutes away, and all the while I was thinking, "I am seriously having this baby!!" They got me my epidural--HALLELUJAH--and got me ready for surgery.

He was born Dec. 9th @ 4:22AM
Weight 7 pounds 9 ounces
Length 19 1/2 inches
He is such a sweet little guy. The kids love him and are always anxious to help with the holding!! We were so suprised he came early, but we wouldn't have had it any other way!!
Welcome to the world Jacob Howard Jensen! We love you!
