Baby Jacob is Here!!

Please welcome Jacob Elliot Doherty!

Jacob was born on Thanksgiving Day (11-25-10), at 8:48pm, weighing 6 pounds 14 ounces, and 19 1/4 inches long.  He was born via emergency c-section after being in labor all day.  We are humbled at God's goodness, grace, and protection of life from start to finish of the pregnancy.  We chose the name Jacob because we liked the name, and it was about the only one we could agree on!  Also, Jacob was a man of God in the Bible, who finished strong.  Elliot was given as a suggestion by our Pastor when we were trying to come up with names for Matthew when he was born.  It is the English version of Elijah, meaning "My God is Jehovah".  More posts and pics to come in the following days as time permits!  We are adjusting to life with a newborn, but doing good over all...

39 Weeks

Well, it's T-minus 1 week to go til D-day!  Could this be the last belly pic???

38 Weeks

Wow, only 2 or so weeks to go (give or take!)...

37 Weeks

This past week we found out that baby is now head down again!  So this means having a natural birth unless he gets to big.  I am anxious to talk to my regular doctor this week as she was out of the office this past week.  As of right now, there is about 20 days to go til my due date...it's coming quick!

Halloween 2010

Matthew was a cute little "airplane" this year for Halloween.  As usual, he had no problem going house to house for candy.  I only made it about 3 houses, and had to head back to my sister-in-law's house to rest.  Thank goodness Chris was home to help out this year!  It was a fun evening.
