Our boys, Tyler Hunt and Jacob Hale: Jacob Hale!

Jacob Hale Snowbarger was born on Friday, November 20th, 2009. He was 7 pounds and 10.6 ounces and 20 1/2 inches long. After about 16 hours in Labor and Delivery he finally made his debut. It was definitely not a moment too soon either, since my epidural was only making my left leg numb... everything else seem to have full feeling! He was definitely worth the wait though. He had a head full of hair and looked SO much like Tyler. He had some trouble with jaundice and we had to follow up with three different trips to the lab for blood work to keep an eye on his billiruben levels. He got over it on his own though and has a nice pink glow now instead of yellow! Tyler has done great adjusting to being a big brother. While I was in the hospital my mom and sisters and friends all helped keep him busy and distracted so he didn't notice Mama and Daddy were AWOL. Since we've been home he's kind of been oblivious to him most of the time and goes about his regular business. He's got lots of work to do with his tractors, trucks, and trains... so little brothers really aren't all that interesting to him at this point. He does make sure Jacob has his "blank" (blanket) and will help out and give him a nunu or go put a bottle in the sink for us. It's been a much easier transition that I expected and I'm so thankful for it!
