Jordan's birth day

I finally have all the photos assembled from 3 different cameras to pick my favorites!
Tuesday April 19 finally arrived, ending Sheila's trying pregnancy sagas, and marking the birth of our last grandchild, Jordan Tyson Ihnen, 6 pounds 12 onces, and 19 inches.

Jon with Jordan shortly after delivery.

Sheila, Jon and Jordan getting acquainted.

Some skin-to-skin to help stimulate Jordan's breathing. He had some fluid in his lungs and struggled a little at first. He was soon taken to the nursery for several hours of monitoring.

Nursing proved difficult, but the bottle worked fine.

A much happier baby.

New family of five!

Big sister, Lexi (2). Actually reverent for a few seconds!

Very happy sister, Halie (almost 6).

Proud grandpa, Von Tyson. Jordan has his middle name.

Relieved and grateful grandma.
