12:15 am- It's time to go to the hospital!

Welcome to the world Jacob Layne! We have been anxiously awaiting your arrival- apparently you were eager to get here quicker than 9 am! Momma and Daddy had been working on cleaning the house Thursday night and went to bed around 11 pm. A c-section had been scheduled to deliver me at 9 am Friday, April 25. At 12:15 am, Momma's water broke- I couldn't wait until 9 am. We got to the hospital around 1 pm after we packed our car ( Drew was at the Cooley grandparent's house). Jacob Layne was delivered at 3:10 am and weighed 8 pounds 10 ounces (exactly what Drew was). He was 19.5 inches long with a little bit of dark hair and dark blue eyes (for now). He has really long fingers and toes and looks similar to his brother's baby pictures.

Proud Grandparents!!!! Thanks for coming so early in the morning to the hospital and thanks for taking care of Drew while we were at the hospital. He enjoys spending time with you all- and we know Jake will too.

Here is our precious little one being patient while mommy takes a million pictures of him. It is such an exciting time- a new child. We are looking forward to all the memories and seeing how Drew reacts with a new brother. They are 2 years and 1 month apart. Wish us luck!!!!

We are the proud, tired parents of a sweet little boy. We know he is a big boy and weighed the same as Drew did, but he just seems smaller than Drew. Maybe he just has skinnier legs and lacks the "rubber-band wrists" that Drew had. He went home weighed 8 pounds and 4.5 ounces. Even though you see a pacifier in his mouth right now, he is really not a big fan of it.

Let's load up and get home! We have been here 12 hours longer than necessary and it's time to go home and see big brother Drew and Max (our pug). We had a great experience at our hospital and appreciate everyone that took care of us and Jake.
