Jay Dean Johnson 9 lbs 1.4 ozs, 20 inches long, 14 inch head and chest. He's got beautiful brown hair. His poor face was pretty bruised from delivery but is looking much better now. Jessica's water broke around 3:00am she thinks and we were out the door by 4:00am. Mike and Natalie came up and took Holli for us, which was great. The epidural never really worked to start but somehow was pulled out in the process so Jessica did the last 1 1/2 or so all natural. OUCH! For two people who weren't prepared to deal with that kind of pain (yes on both parties side) we made it. JD was turned sunny side up which caused a lot of the pain but at sometime, he turned back around. JD was pushed out in 5 pushes. Jessica was pushing as the doctor walked in because at that point she didn't care who was there or not, just that that baby was coming now.
We are home now and ready to get back into life. JD's doing great although slightly yellow. Just watching that closely. Kj is pretty tired but handling it all pretty good. Jessica feels great, a little sore still, but loving having baby out. Holli is curious about JD but is keeping a distance. When we are not looking she's talking to him or giving him stuffed animals, but won't really look at him when we are around. She's throwing some pretty good fits that we hope go away in a few days or so. She was given her own baby carseat and baby at the hospital and has to do whatever we do with JD to her own baby. It's very sweet.
Last few hours of being prego! On our way to the hospital.
Poor little boys face was pretty bruised. Look at that chest!
Sleeping so sweet. He's dressed and ready to come home.
The first pic of the new family of hour. See, Holli's really not sure what to think.
She wanted to hold him, until he was on her lap. She'll come around.
It's hard on everyone. We all fell asleep in the hospital room just being together as a family.
At home and happy. Holli actually crawled up all on her own.

Jess! I'm so excited for you guys. Holli will come around, she's a Jay/Johnson mix. I hope you guys aren't getting too tired with everything.
Love you sis!!
He is so beautiful! I'm so glad he is here! Glad you all got to go home! Take care! Congratulations!
9 pounds...how did you do it? I am so glad he is healthy, he is adorable. And the fits will slowly go away, Konner was that same way for about 2 weeks and then he realized what was going on and that he would get attention just not right at the moment he wanted it! So glad JD is here. Congrats!!!
We are do proud to have such a handsome boy in our family. We can't wait to see him. Take care.
Love You, Great-Grandma Bartholomew
