BOY!! Finally, after all my complainin', our little boy made his appearance.
True he was four days late, but as I guessed, that doesn't seem to matter so much anymore. Jesse Frank was born Tuesday Dec. 9, 2008 at 9:06 am. He was 21" and weighed 8 lbs. 2 oz. (the exact same weight as his older brother was).
I know you are all going to want to think of him as "Jess--ee," because that is how his name looks, but it is not so. He is simply "Jess" . . . but spelled Jesse. I know that will frustrate you all greatly, but it is a family name. Spelled one way and said another. Even when I complained of having no name I secretly felt that if it was a boy, he was meant to be our little Jesse (think "Jess"). I love our little Jesse so much and I hope he will do his great great grandpa Jesse proud by what he makes of his name.
His great great grandpa Jesse died from a tick bite about three years after his wife -- leaving six kids parentless. One of those kids was 12 year old Frank (Mike's grandpa). That story has always made me sad. I don't know that this little spirit would have known his great great grandpa before coming to this world, but ever since naming him Jesse, I get this little pang of happiness in my heart each time I hear Mike or one of my kids call him by that name. 
Yes, he is definitely our little Jesse Frank. We love him .

Hooray!! I am so glad that little Jesse is here. He is so cute and perfect! I love the pictures and I can't wait for more. I hope you are doing and feeling okay! Congrats!
WhoooHoooo! A boy! Just what your family needed. I love the name also. I remember you talking about it early on. I'm so happy. How does it feel to reclaim your body? Good, but a little lonely, I'm sure. That is always a strange feeling after a baby is born. I'm wishing many hours of sleep, since you probably feel like you are getting none!
Oh, Nancy, how precious. Ashton was so excited to see pictures! He's been telling everyone!! I'm excited for you, hopefully things will continue to go well. And you will feel good! I'm glad you are happy with the name. It's really cute!!

Until then, stay well and love on the sweet little Jesse - which by the way is a great name! I like it and it will not be hard to get used to the silent "e". Congratulations Friend!
