Well is has been a couple of weeks since the birth, so I thought pictures on the somewhat neglected blog are in order. Our fourth child, Jefferson, was born on Aug 23, 2011 at 1:40am. At birth he was 8 lbs. 15 oz. and 21 inches long. He was born at home in a birthing tub without complication. It was nice not to have to worry about driving to the hospital and messing with car seats and such. Plus, our daughter, Allie was able to see the birth, something that might not have panned out otherwise. Now on to the pictures…
Here is the birth tub before while I was filling it up. Nothing too technical--just a hose hooked up the the shower.
Jen is now in the birth tub. The birth is imminent.
Just after Jefferson was born. No pictures here of the actual birth.
Here is an announcement made by a family friend photographer
Sleeping like a baby…
Allie getting her baby fix the day after the birth.
And the Jack had his turn, but felt he wasn’t doing it right.
We then had a birthday celebration for Jefferson. Not sure why Jack is missing his shirt…but I guess the draw of cake was too strong.
A family picture at last. Allie is true to form.
