Jack is here!!

Jack Hamilton Shoaf was born Wednesday, October 9th at 9:20 pm. He weighed 7lbs 11 oz and was 21 inches long. We arrived at the hospital at 6:30 in the morning, so Barrie was wiped out by the time he came along. We were lucky to be joined in the Hospital by Barrie's good friend (and Abby's awesome godmother) Jodie Low. Jodie may have gotten more than she bargained for but she helped with the delivery!! Barrie had a problem with the epidural, it made her numb all the way up to her shoulders! It appears the anesthetic went in the wrong place, and she had a small leak of spinal fluid. This gave her a terrible headache and they took her this morning to put a blood patch in her back over the area where the epidural went to stop the leak and her headache. Her back is killing her!! Guy's mom came from Ohio to watch Abby while we were in the hopital. She and Abby made cookies, painted pictures and read books.
