Welcome to the world, Reid!

God was very gracious in answering our prayers for a very uneventful and healthy delivery. We arrived at the hospital yesterday (11th) around 6:45am and checked into our room. After Jess got poked and pricked for all of the IV's, we waited for the Pitocin to do its job. The doctor came in and broke Jessica's water around 12:15pm. The nurse came in and checked Jess again at 1:15pm and was surprised to realize that she was well along and ready to deliver. The nurses scrambled to get the room prep'd and told Jess not to push in any way because he was that ready to come. The doctor came in around 1:25pm and asked me if I wanted to help deliver the baby. I laughed and jokingly said, "Sure." I didn't know he was really being serious. So, after 30 seconds of instructions, the doctor got the head out and let me sit down and pull him out the rest of the way. It was a pretty cool experience, but I can't say I want to be a doctor now after helping to deliver a baby.

Jess is recovering well and we are looking forward to heading home today. Reid has been nursing really well and had a good first night of sleep too! Hopefully, both trends will continue and only get better and better :) More pics to come!
