Jared Alonzo Merrell

Jared Alonzo Merrell born December 9th at 12:50PM
-19 1/2 inches (I had to take him to the ped. this morning
though and they measured him at 21 1/2 inches; someone
made a mistake. I don't think he could grow two inches in less
than a week. The nurse even measured him again and got closer
to 22 inches. I am thinking he is closer to 21 1/2 than the 19 1/2
that the hospital told me.
-8 lbs 11oz.

I had my midwife break my water at 9AM and he came about
4 hours later. I did not have to have any pitocin and
everything happened quickly. Jared had quite a bit of bruising
because he had the cord wrapped around his neck, so I had
to push quickly. We are all doing great, and so happy to have
him here. Nathan adored his brother the first 30 minutes
and then wanted to give him back. He is just starting to warm
up a little more and wants to hold him now. Thanks everyone for
the prayers.
