This morning Jessica and Dan went to the hospital around 6:00 a.m. Jessica quickly had little Derek at about 9:00 a.m.
Both Jessica and Dan had a little breakfast waiting for Derek. Jessica's was liquid IV and Dan had a sandwich. I always had the cheese burger and fries.
Jessica did a great job and in a few pushes Derek begins his mortal journey. Jacob and Derek are very lucky to have two loving parents that are dedicated to their families. Lynne and I are so excited to have another grandchild.
Proud Papa! Holding his precious cargo. The life long commitment of raising kids truly is the only way we can understand our relationship with our earthly and Heavenly Parents. What a wonderful and challenging hands on laboratory experience. Don't forget that we are here for you when needed.
Whats up! Little Derek a wrapped up tight like a pupa !
Just a chilling !! Derek is taking a break from all the attention. He has beautiful color and unblemished skin. You did well Jessica !
Perhaps Derek has a little attitude. Ha!
