Introducing Jack Davis

John Clawson ("Jack") Davis was born on Saturday, August 29th 2009 at 11:14 a.m. He weighed 8lbs, 8oz., was 21 inches long and had a head circumferance of 13.5 inches. He's healthy and strong, and both Mommy and baby are doing great!

Labor started around midnight, with the contractions about 5 minutes apart. They started coming about 3 minutes apart at 3:30, and were pretty darn close together by 7. My midwives were wonderful, and both Mom and Logan did a great job in assisting me throughout the process (I felt bad that they had no sleep that night, though!). And a big thanks to the Caspersons, who took Tommy in the morning so we could focus on the birth!

Tommy and Jack. Tommy has been very good and gentle with his brother (although he pretty much ignores him most of the time!)


Jack is a side sleeper




and loves to suck his thumb!
We're glad he decided to come this weekend, and that he's so healthy! I still can't believe I had an 8lb baby, though...
