The latest

So...24 hours and a couple of showers later, the pictures are a little more of the public variety. I've been working hard to get some posted for you all who aren't able to be here, but it's a fine line of what to post and what not to post after 2 days with no sleep, showers, razors, or change of clothes.

For those wanting details, I'll let Sherry fill you in on whatever she'd like to share...again, there's a fine line there...and WOW...there's a lot that's way past the line. As for the summary, Sherry's water broke at home Friday night after having contractions for a couple of hours. We headed to the hospital and called Dr. W on the way to let him know we were headed that direction. We got checked in, and the rest of the night/morning were pretty typical from what I understand...other than I've never heard of a L&D nurse that didn't know where the cervix was located?!?!?

Sherry got here epidural at 5:30, began pushing at 9, and Jacob was born at 10:13 a.m. Got to give props to Sherry...she was a champ. I couldn't have been more proud of will and determination to get that boy out...anybody who knows about circumference of heads of Cole babies understands :) Lacking a lot of sleep, the rest of yesterday is kind of a blur.

Today, though...the swelling is down, everybody has slept pretty good, and Sherry and Jacob are both doing well. Lord willing, we'll head home tomorrow mid-afternoon. Please feel free to write, call, or stop by here or there.

We want to thank all of the doctors (esp. Dr. Wickert for coming in on his weekend off), nurses, friends and family for all of the help, encouragement, love, and prayers. We love you and appreciate everything. God bless!!!
