Our still nameless baby decided to give us a happy scare when Jessica's water broke at the happiest place on earth (Disneyland). The water broke on Thursday night at about 6:45pm. It was a challenge getting to the car because of the Disney Parade that was just starting. The Disneyland staff was very helpful and escorted us to our car for the short ride to Saddleback Hospital in Laguna Hills. Mommy and Baby began to be very uncomfortable around midnight. Mommy received an epidural at 3:30am which was an awesome. She was able to sleep on and off for a few hours. Jessica did awesome in the delivery. She was very strong and quiet (no grunting or screaming). 6 quick contractions and Tiny was born. Tiny (as he is know right now) was born at 9:08am on February 2, 2007. He weighs 5 lbs 12 ozs and is 19 inches long. The doctors left him in our room for about 10 minutes and then took him to the NICU to monitor everything. They fed him with a tube one time and he's been comfortable resting ever since. Currently he looks very peaceful and is a beautiful baby(as you can see:) He does have an IV and several other monitors hooked up to him in some of the pictures but don't be alarmed he's doing very well. Mommy on the other hand is not as comfortable. She has had some high blood pressure and the doctors have put her on medication for that and she is confined to her bed and very restricted on eating or drinking. Jessica is still in good spirits and anxiously waiting to be healthy enough to be with baby Tiny. Thanks to everyone for all your loving support and prayers. We really appreciate it. We will write and post more soon so check in a few minutes. More pics are on the way.
Love
Danny, Jess, and TINY Kettle
