Solomon David Sapper was born at 11:08 PM on January 25th. I pushed for 4 whole hours with Janers but little Solly came out after only 15 minutes. It was wonderful! Solly looks just like Jane...their facial expressions are identical. We will take and post more photos tomorrow so check back!
Solly and Mommy right after Solly's birth
little Solly weighed in at 6 pounds, 11 ounces and is 19 inches long.
We brought Jane to the birthing center with us. We planned on having my mom stay with Jane...my mom comes to Seattle tomorrow afternoon. Then we were going to have one of our friends stay with her...but Jane gets so fussy for her mama at night that we thought it best just to take her with us. Jane was a trouper and Erik did a fantastic job entertaining her while I labored away. Jane fell asleep shortly after 10:00, well before I had to start pushing. She slept on the couch sleeper in the same room we had Solly. Amazingly, our terrible sleeper slept through the entire birth. Here she is passed out on the sofa sleeper. Erik took her home around 2:00 AM. This is my first night away from my sweet girl and I miss her!
Solly and Daddy
Right now Solly is sleeping in the bassinet right next to my bed, something Jane certainly never did! Here's hoping the little guy is a better sleeper than his sister!
Congratulations Jen and Erik! We can't wait to meet him!

Congratulations!!! I love his name. Glad it all worked out even if Grandma wasn't there yet... Babies have a way of coming on their own schedules :)
