This morning I woke up to Janell telling me that her water had broken. It was 5:30 in the morning. We rapidly got everything together, hopped in the car, and went to the hospital. The crazy day had just begun.
Arriving at the hospital at 6:15, they started checking her out to make sure that she was in labor. She certainly was. The problem was that the baby was breech. They wanted to do a c-section, but he didn’t want to wait for that. He was born at 7:10 with no c-section.
So, Benjamin Joseph was born on July 14, 2008, at 7:10, weighing in at an even 6 pounds and measuring 19 inches long. Mom and baby are doing fine.
Here are some pictures. Video will be coming soon.
¡Felicidades!
Welcome Benjamin Joseph! We are happy that you are here safe and sound. Remind your Daddy to send us updated photos. We would love to be close by so we can hold you. We love you all! Rob, Tina, Cole and Carson
Just wanted to officially say “congratulations!!” and to point out one funny connection b/w our two families. Though we’ve never met in person, we have a lot in common (as far as the kids are concerned). I laughed yesterday when I read you named in Benjamin and again today when I found out you named him Benjamin Joseph. If we have a boy, that is what we are going to name him. 🙂 And to top that off, our first son (born April 23, 04) is Nathan.
Again, congrats.
