It's a BOY!!!!

5:30 pm - Jed had just taken the kids outside to play and I sat down on the couch, felt one contraction, & somehow just knew it was the beginning of labor...finally!!!!! I started timing the contractions, which were 8-10 minutes apart.
6:30 pm - Jed & I head for the hospital (normally an hour & 15 minute trip, which turned into a 52 minute drive!!) No danger of me delivering in the car though.....contractions were still about 8 minutes apart & I could still candle-blow through them.
7:22 pm - We arrive at the hospital, begin paperwork, & get set-up in the delivery room!
8:00 pm - Dr. Ferreria checks me & finds me to be 6+ cm, so he breaks my water. Almost immediately, my contractions amp up to 2 minutes apart, so Jed & I begin our routine of walking the halls & breathing through contractions together...so happy to be back at Titusville Hospital :)
9:00 pm - Contractions are starting to double up on me & Dr. Ferreira checks me again.....I'm at 8 cm. They need to monitor baby some now, so we stand beside the bed (I just can't bare to think of laboring in that bed!) & Jed helps me get through the worst of the contractions.
9:21 pm - 10 cm....time to push...my least favorite part, as I never have the "urge" to do so! Upon my request, Jed gets the video camera rolling (although I still haven't watched it)!
9:41 pm - After 20 minutes of pushing, the room erupts with "It's a BOY".......we can't even tell you how happy we are to welcome another precious son into our family :)
More pictures to come soon.....Luke's hungry :)

We are so thrilled for you and your family and we are looking forward to hopefully seeing you guys this summer. Thanks for posting the pictures..I know that it isn't that easy with 5 kids. Wow 5--did you ever imagine that someday you and Jed would have 5 wonderful, healthy children?!? You two make a beautiful, happy family!

Oh Luke. You are even more handsome in person! Welcome to the family little buddy!
Congratulations Fiscus Seven!!! He is perfect! Jen, you are amazing.
P.S. Liv cried for at least 30-40 minutes on the way home because it was "TOO LOOOONNNGG" until Ella's party.
Congrats! He is beautiful. I liked reading the story of Luke. He looks like the perfect addition to an already wonderful family!
