We were pleasantly surprised Wednesday night when my daughter, Jaime, called to say that she was in the hospital.  Her due date wasn't until Friday.  They were keeping her overnight, although she didn't expect anything to happen.  She was having some cramping, but it certainly didn't feel like labor to her. 

Thursday morning around 9:30 not much had changed, and the doctor decided to break her water.  That is all it took to get things moving.  At 11:50 am little Zachary James was born. 

Jaime spent less than 2 hours in the birthing tub.  For anyone considering a water birth, she highly recommends it. 

Both mother and son are doing very well!  Here are my first photos of my new grandson:

He did not enjoy his first bath at all!

But, it was so cute to see him grab on to the side of the tub!

 

 

 

 

To all of you that have requested pictures:

Be careful what you wish for!  This grandmother has a camera and she is not afraid to use it!

Leslie:  She had an amazing delivery.  She was very lucky!  I was so happy to be there for the first bath and when I saw his little hand clutching that tub...it was just so prescious!

C:  Thanks for the funny comment...he is my little Pookie!  I appreciate the well wishes!

Sheldon:  Leave it to you, to have that Halloween profile picture!  I laughed out loud when I saw it.  You are so funny!  I love the way you think!  Thank you!

Sharon- I love the first bath photo!  I think you should threaten to show up the night of his first date with your photo album starting with this pic! 

Congrats to you and the whole family! Can't wait to see him in his Halloween 2010 Costume.

Sheila:  We should have some fun holidays this year!  One thing is for sure, there will be no shortage of pictures of these guys. 

Jaime had about as perfect a labor as you could ask for.  I was in labor with her for 9 hours, but my son and other daughter I was not even a full hour from first twinge of pain to baby in my arms...so she comes by it naturally! 

Kathy:  I'm sure by the time the first date rolls around we will have all kinds of embarrassing photos just waiting.  As you can see he didn't care for the bath experience at all!

Russell:  I actually feel like I'm getting started late as a grandparent.  My mother was a grandmother by age 40!  My daughter has been married for 4 years now and I've been patiently (ok not so patient) waiting for a grandbaby...now I get 2 in the same year!
