Our latest addition!!


Daniel Dean Jarman is the name we choose. He is named after Eddie's wonderful Uncle. Everyone has a preference on what they want to call him. Danny, Daniel but probably not Dan. He was born Monday June 14th, 6 DAYS LATE and we had to make him come with an induction. Here's the killer information, he was 9 pounds 14 ounces. That's why I felt like that...
I cried for about 10 min afterward feeling overwhelmed and not ready to take care of a newborn, but I have to admit as soon as they let me hold me it ALL went away. He's not even too bad of a baby for being 5 days old. We'll see what comes. He was nearly 23 inches tall and I measured his foot yesterday and it was almost 4 inches long! That is beyond ridiculous. The newborn diapers looked like a Speedo on the poor child, so I had to take those back and get some #1's.

He was my quickest induction, just a few hours, and has been my best recovery. I went home the next day. Grandma Jarman has taken the kids, so it's just been me and Daniel because Eddie has been working. I'm feeling good and am being well taken care of besides being a little lonely during the day and bored because I don't feel like doing anything!

More professional pictures will be taken if Auntie Beth ever returns home from England (she left Monday morning about the time I went to the hospital, I hope she's not bitter about that.)
And of course more updates as I feel like it!

John, Joe and Daniel
