Benjamin Jacobus is here!

We are so happy to announce the birth of Benjamin Jacobus! He made his grand entrance into the world at 8:09pm. He was 8 lbs 15 oz and 21 inches long. Labor went super fast for me. Unfortunately the epidural I got could not "keep up" with how fast I was progressing. My labor was 3 hours long after I started feeling the contractions. I had no idea I would progress that fast! Wow...was it ever painful. But the reward is oh so sweet! We love you, Benjamin!

First family picture of the 4 of us!

Big sister Jaelyn meeting Benjamin for the first time. She absolutely adores him! Too precious!!

Yep, he didn't tip the 9 lb scale...just like I asked him! Ha! :)

Proud Daddy!


Benjamin all ready to come home. He was 22 hours old when we left the hospital! I couldn't wait to sleep in my own bed! Those labor/delivery beds are not the most comfortable to sleep in!
