Jacob's Birth Story

It's amazing to me that it takes one action, one little tiny swimmer and one tiny egg and one huge act of God, or whatever you want to call it, to make something so miraculous as a child.  I didn't witness my own child being born, I lived it.  To see the act of child birth is amazing.  It's like nothing I've ever witnessed and I want to see it again and again.  To see Carrie, Jacob's mommy, in such pain, but knowing the result will be a baby, she did it without question.  For Carrie and John, this is baby number five.  Carrie did not use drugs for any of her babies, she did it all natural.  She is my hero.  She took the pain with silence and did so in such a beautiful way, I can't even describe it.  John stood by wishing he could take her pain away.  Jacob was born at 5:47 with one big push, he entered their wonderful family.  When he was placed on Carrie's chest it was such a emotional and beautiful moment.  The joy on her face was like nothing I've seen.  I'm not going to lie, it brought tears to my eyes.  So without further ado, here is Jacob.....
