Congrats Ronna and Jeff

IT'S A BOY!

Ronna's my hero today! Poor thing has been through it all, but from what I hear she is doing well. Jakob Robert Grant decided that the world was too great to wait any longer to see. He is 6 weeks early, but from the sounds of it he doing well (they are watching his breathing). The only things I know about him are: 5lbs 11oz, 19 inches long...and born sometime before 3pm yesterday.

Here is some of the story that I remember- Yesterday morning Ronna started contractions. They took her to the hospital and the hospital was talking about trying to keep her there for a few weeks...but then her water broke and they had to re-plan. They then decided that giving her fluids and trying to keep Jakob in for a few days might do...but that plan quickly was ditched when they noticed that it was time to push (which happened quickly). They had to take her to an OR room because Jakob wanted to land on his feet first. Come to find out that her spinal block was not taking they had to put poor Ronna under. As of last night she was not feeling well from the anesthesia. But from what I have heard Ronna was given some good meds to help with her upset stomach and to help her rest. Jakob (from what Heather says) looks like his daddy, and Heather is to get us some pictures so we all can see how right she is.

Jobe has not seen his new brother yet, but that should happen today. I can't wait to hear what he has to say about going to school and when he came home he had a new baby brother. That could really scar a child...if they didn't want a new sibling.

Please keep Ronna and Jakob in your thought and prayers. And when I get new stuff on the happy family I'll post. Hopefully we will have pictures soon to share! Have a good weekend!
