Update from Scott & Jennifer

Thanks everyone for your prayers and kind words!
We are so grateful for our little boy.
It was a long labor, 19 hours, but we are thankful that Jen did not need to get a c-section.
Much thanks to Cristina Thornburg (Who has been giving updates to the blog) and Christy Hinrichs (Who is 13 weeks pregnant herself) who assisted us during the birth. I don't know how we would have made it without them. Jen was very thankful to have them and they enabled me to take a break now and then

As Cristina posted the specifics, I will not repeat them here.
Jen was able to get some sleep last night, which we are thankful for especially after she did not get any sleep yesterday.
The blood patch was fully succesful and she has no more headaches.
She is still tired and a little sore were the stiches are located.
Jonathan is doing great and all the doctors are pleased.
The doctors and the nursing staff have been great during the whole process thus far.

Our doctor wants here to stay another night and we should be coming home tomorrow.
Cristina took a lot of pictures and I asked her to post a few pictures which she did indicated in her last post.

I will probably add a pictures section to the blog once we sort all the pictures out and get them uploaded.

Thanks again for everyones comments and prayers!
Also, another big thanks to our friends Christy and Cristina who were there through the labor!
