Jacob Arrives On the Scene

Meredith went in the hospital Tuesday night. They started inducing her on Wednesday morning. Sometime around 4 pm Meredith's doctor came back to check on her and stated that Jacob's head still had not dropped like he would like and recommended at that time that she have a C-Section. We talked it over and decided that getting the C-Section done would be the best course of action, so at 6:30 pm they started prepping her for it. Jacob was delivered at 7:41 pm on 30 April. He weighed 9 pounds 12.2 ounces at time of delivery and was 20 1/2 inches long. We also found out that he was breech, so its a good thing that we did decide to have the C-Section done because his head would have never dropped like the doctor was wanting it to. Now for the moment that you have all been waiting for here he is.......
