Sarah and Nathaniel went to the hospital at 5:00 on Friday, and Baby Jessica arrived at 6:15 PM. Sarah followed Kathy's example in using hypno-birthing, and delivered without any medication or IV's. What a trouper! Jessica weighed 9 lb. 8 oz., but was originally listed as 10 lb. 11 oz. Don't ask me how they miss-weigh a baby. Jessica had a little trouble breathing to begin with--she must have inhaled some amniotic fluid. She was making little wheezing noises, and they kept her in the nursery for a good while before bringing her to Sarah. Sarah was in recovery for 3 hours before finally going to her room, so we didn't get a call about the birth until 9:15 PM. And here I'd been worrying all that time about Sarah's labor, and thinking that it was good (at 9:00) that it hadn't been too, too long. Come to find out she'd had the baby 3 hours earlier!
The baby is beautiful with a fair amount of dark auburn hair. Jessica looks alot like what I remember Sarah and Billy looking like, but maybe it's just the size...and the nose :)
