All the Family News of the Crane & Anderson's: The Trip to San Diego and the New Baby Boy!!

There is a new little boy that has come to live at Lisa & Steve's home!!

This is what was happening when I made it down to the hospital in San Diego at 4 A. M. on Sunday morning. Lisa and Steve had checked into the hospital around midnight so they were well on their way when I got there. I like this picture as it shows photos that they had brought in sitting on the table of their first little baby boy, Guinness. I thought that added a fun touch to the morning. (Donuts would have been better but ..... )

The top of the screen shows the baby's heart rate and the bottom is the contractions that had Lisa working so hard!!

Here are the new parents -to -be during the waiting time. At the end things went very, very fast. The doctor was checking Lisa and the doctor wasn't happy with how the baby was reacting. It was, "I don't like the way the heart rate is, lets see if you move & it will get better" to "we might need to do a C section" to "Get the OR ready we are taking this baby now!!"

Worried Daddy getting ready to go into the OR with Lisa. Not how they were hoping it would turn out but both mother and Baby are healthy and happy so all is well.

This is right after the birth while the baby was being wheeled into the nursery. Think I am happy? Think Steve is relieved? You would be right!!!

And now the pictures and information that everyone has been waiting for:

Jake Anthony Anderson

born

February 17, 2008

9:22 a. m.

Weighing at 8 pounds; 21 Inches long

"Baby Blue" eyes. Not his daddy's or Paul Newman's baby blues, the newborn blue. We will have to wait to see if he takes after Mom or Dad on this one.

Wondering why everyone outside the nursery window is crying and taking pictures! Thinking maybe he must be Elvis with all the flash blubs going off. He was still awake from the delivery. After this he didn't wake up much the rest of the day.
