Labor Day

Late in the evening on Labor Day the Lewis' made a trip to the hospital, uncertain if this was it since Jacqie had been induced with Abie and never really experienced contractions. So they casually got the paperwork started as Jacqie admitted she wasn't really having them anymore. But they immediately got things into full swing realizing she was at 7cm! Apparently it doesn't take much to have things working! Abie was quickly pawned off with some friends and a few hours later "Little Buddy" made his grand entrance. He weighed 8lb 2oz and measured 20."

Then he slept....and slept... Basically he's a good sleeper and needs a lot of encouragement to wake up and attempt to eat. He's got lots of dark hair, and now officially has a name! Benjamin Taylor Lewis.

Congradulations! I can't believe you have two kids already....and so close together (your brave). I guess that must mean that I should be working on the next.

Congratulations! He is such a cutie pie and I love the name! So how close together are they in age? Mine are 20 months apart and it was really hard at the beginning. Good luck with everything. :-)
