It was 3am on Saturday morning February 11, and the wind was howling, the snow was blowing. Jess came into our room to wake me. It was time. I quickly dressed as she was progressing rapidly. We left at 3:15am and arrived and were checked in by 3:58am. She was checked and at 5 at 3:30am. They quickly set us up in a new room and got us settled. Jess was having pretty close contractions and at 5:30am she got her epidural and had progressed to 7 by 6:30am. After a short nap she said she felt like it was time to push. I quickly got our nurse and she brought the team with her. Indeed, it was time. Jess was ready for Isaiah to make his appearance. She pushed for about 5 minutes and Isaiah made his entrance into the world. The experience is one I will never forget. He is just precious and I was honored to be apart of his birth. Shortly after delivery Jess got a call from her husband who is deployed to Afghanistan....he wanted so much to be here...but pictures were quickly emailed to him (or as quickly as Jess and I could figure out how to do it.) Mom and baby Isaiah are doing great!
Here he is....
Look at these cute little feet....:)
Isaiah and I...absolute bliss! He's just perfect.
So here's his stats:
6lbs. 9oz.
18.75 inches long
born @ 7:47 am --February 11, 2012.
The staff at Fort Belvoir was awesome. There are not enough words to convey how great they were to us. We so appreciate the great job they did! :)
Congratulations Jessica and Jon we love you guys!
