Baby JP's Homecoming

Early Friday morning, April 10, 2009, JP and I were finally able to go home. We had Aunty Diane and Uncle Gary who flew in from California, along with my cousin Nancy and her son Jaxon to welcome us home to "Welsh Stadium." Later JP's very proud and excited grandparents came over to welcome him as well!

We had such an amazing labor, delivery, and recovery experience at our hospital. We had an excellent group of medical staff who check in with us, monitoring me and the baby. I started to feel nervous when i thought of going home without any of that help there. But that's just the worrier in me and everything turned out fine. The support of family and friends really eased my worries.

Our home is so much different now that we have JP and really is a sweet blessing. It's hard to believe that there was a time when it was just me and Jasper. Now our rooms and halls are filled with sounds of our baby giggling, cooing and crying, and we couldn't be any happier!

We were able to put a lot of this experience on video and would love to share it with you. Below, is a JP Welsh's Welcome Home Video:

Guess whose finally here!!

It's hard to believe that the big day has finally arrived. After consulting with my OB doctor, we agreed to induce labor on Monday April 6, 2009. And on Wednesday morning, April 8th at 12:03am, our precious Jasper Prentiss Welsh III (JP) was born at 7 lbs 4 oz and 19-1/2" long.

Let me tell you now that it was a grueling 25 hour labor and delivery but as mommies and daddies know, it's all worth it in the end.

Jasper shot a brief video, while we were still in the hospital, wanting to introduce you to our new addition to our family. Check it out and enjoy...
