Our third child came into the world in Savannah, Georgia, at a
birthing center, yesterday at 6:22 p.m. We had spent the day in Savannah thinking that it was going to happen, so we strolled through downtown, got to the know the Savannah Mall, and all points in between. I'll let Jess give the details of her birth story some other time, but things did go very well. Her water broke around 3:30, and Elliot greeted us less than three hours later (all 9 pounds 6 ounces of him!). Jess was able to have a water birth this time, and I think that she really liked this type of birthing (as much as anyone enjoys giving birth, right?). Here are some pictures from our day.
The first picture is Jess and Elliot getting some immediate mom-son time after the birth.
Jess asked two friends to make Elliot's going home outfit, replete with freshly hatched chick on the shirt. He's already making the ladies swoon!
Annika and Samuel waited at home with Grandma Judy. Annika immediately played the role of big sister. Sam couldn't quite figure out what this new thing was, but now he runs around pointing at the baby and saying "dat." I think he thinks Elliot's pretty cool.

Hoorays and cheers from the Young Blasco house! This is great news, we're glad everything went smoothly and that Jess and Elliot are doing well. You're all certainly busy at the moment, but hopefully we can talk before too long and congratulate you with real voices!
Hooray! Congratulations! Im glad you were in Savanna and there were no flooded bridges this time! (right??)
