We have a new baby!!

Got your attention didn't I?? Well Stu and I don't have a new baby, but my best friend Kristie and her husband Sean do so that makes me an aunt again and Stu an uncle.

THE PRINCE HAS ARRIVED

Jacob David Marshall was born on March 12, 2008 at 3:39 PM. He was 2 weeks early, however Krisite is known for going early so they were prepared. Jacob weighted in at 7 lbs and 15 oz. The nurse told Krisite if he hadn't peed right before they weighted him he probably would have weighted 8 lbs. He was 19 1/2 inches long and had quite a bit of hair. He was so alert the whole time we were there, just looking around and probably wondering 'what have I gotten myself into'.
Jacob's sisters McKenna (age 6) and London (almost 2) were both excited to see the new prince. After Jacob got his feet inked for the baby certificate, one of the nurses put Jacob's inked foot on Sean's arm to 'mark him'. It was the cutest thing I have seen!! McKenna asked her dad how he got that foot print on his arm and he told her "Jacob Kon-Foo kicked me when he came out" McKenna replied with amazement "How did he do that??"
Because Jacob was the first grandson on Sean's side, Jacob got Sean's dad's name as his middle name-David. On Kristie's side, Jacob is the 4 grandson, however March 12th was Kristie's dad's birthday, so both grandpa's are a significant part of Jacob's life.
Kristie looked absolutely beautiful, having that mother glow, and will have her hands full with 3 kids. Thank goodness McKenna will be a big help with Jacob like she was with London


Congradulations Marshalls on your little prince
