Jacob Matthew McKay

Yes, he has arrived! Both baby and mother are fine. He was born this morning at 8:06am via c-section and I believe was 6lbs. 6oz. and 19 inches long. Looks just like his daddy. :)

You know, it has been hard for me to see Heather during her pregnancy and I knew it wouldn't be any easier once she delivered. But, when I got the call today from James I hurried right on over. Did I cry? Absolutely. Was I thrilled for my friends? Absolutely. It is just still hard for me to comprehend that it will never be me, at least in those specific terms. I don't mean to harp on the subject, but it just still amazes me at times.

I got to hold baby Jacob for awhile, as Heather was all hopped up on drugs. Anyone who knows Heather knows how funny that would be and how much fun it was to see her like that. I told James he could totally take advantage of that situation and that Davin could give him some pointers! Baby Jacob is just beautiful and if my brain had been attached, I would have at least taken a picture of him with my cell phone to post on here. I am sure I will be back there before she leaves the hospital, so will try and remember to do so.

Heather and I did talk about what a year it has been, as her and James 1 year Wedding Anniversary is this Sunday! So, to James and Heather, Happy 1 Year Wedding Anniversary and Congratulations on the birth of Jacob Matthew. I know the next year ahead will be just as exciting for the two of you. I look forward to many visits with Jacob and well okay the two of you as well. :)
