After what seems like forever, we were finally able to meet Jacob today! Courtney went into labor on Friday evening, which happened to be her last day of school before the Christmas holidays. God definitely had a plan and JUST got her through the semester. She started having very strong contractions that evening around 11:00. After trying (unsuccessfully) to get a little sleep, we headed for the hospital at around 1:30 that morning. 8 hours later, Jacob was born. We feel so blessed that we were able to share this moment with several members of our family that were in town just for the weekend, and leaving on Sunday. We look forward to all of you getting the opportunity to meet Jacob soon. We are both feeling pretty tired, since neither of us got any sleep all evening during the labor. After some short naps though, we are feeling a little more energized. It has been a long day for sure, but Courtney has held up so well.
Keep checking back over the next few days/weeks as we will update this regularly. We can't wait to share our joy with everyone.
