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!
A photo shortly after birth. Believe me, I felt much better than I looked! 
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...
He is so adorable!! I love the pictures! Congratulations to you and Logan!
