Justin Daniel

The kids meeting Justin in the hospital
Nobody brought Aaron his In N' Out burger for having a new baby so we went through the drive through on the way home.

Justin Daniel Holbrook 7 lbs. 3 oz. 19 inches long

We arrived at the hospital around 10:30 p.m. when I was scheduled to be induced.  After monitoring the baby and checking me they started I.V. pitocin at 11:40 p.m.  I had my first contraction at midnight.  The midwife was supposed to come in between 1:00 and 2:00 to see how I was doing.  I told the nurse to check me again at about 12:40 a.m.  She immediately began preparing the room for delivery.  She stayed by my side and ended up being the one to deliver me at 1:10 a.m.  I never even met the midwife.  An OB came in after the baby arrived and stitched me up.  The nurse said it was the fastest induction she had ever seen.  I was thrilled to have it over so quickly.

Yay! Welcome to the world Justin Daniel! I am so happy your labor went quickly, Annette. I was praying and praying. He is SO super cute!

He is absolutely beautiful (or ruggedly handsome. . . he is a boy after all)! Really, though, he is just perfect. I am so glad I got a chance to meet him at Thanksgiving. You were such a trooper to come all the way down for that day! I can't wait to see him, you, and your whole beautiful family at Christmas time. I love you!
