Jenny had her baby!!

Well my lil' sister Jenny had her baby boy today! Yesturday she went to the dr. for her 1st "Check" appt. (She isn't due until begining of July) and she was dialated to a 2 and 75% effaced. With Tanner (her 1st) she had a check up at 2 weeks to go and was dilated to a 3 and then had him the next day. So when she called Yesturday to tell me she was already dilating, she laughed about not wanting to have him today!
When she called today around 1pm she said, She'd had him. I so didn't believe her (she is known for jokingly lying) But finally I realized she was totally telling the truth.
The only hard part is our baby brother Doug is having his mission farewell on Father's day -15th and leaves for his mission on June 24th. My mom has threatened Jenny not to go early because she is trying to finish their house to be moved in by the Farewell dinner and to see her baby Doug off to Orlando, Florida. Oh well!!
So between me and my mom, one is flying out shortly to help her and the other will go after that......
The Baby hasn't been officaially named yet (although Jenny told me months ago- they've kept it a surprise) so I won't say yet, because my sister and Mom don't know.
But he was born at 2:11 pm Central time in Omaha, Nebraska and weighed in at 5 lbs. 4 oz. and only 18 inches long.
He is tiny and although he had a high apgar of 9, he started to have a little trouble breathing, so he may have to stay a few days. But so far so good! We can just hope and pray that he'll be healthy and can go home with his new family.
CONGRATS Jenny!!, Andrew and the new big brother Tanner!

What the heck? You think we didn't know his name? You didn't even know she'd had the baby until awhile after it happened! And she told me that would probably be the name months ago, too. But I'll still keep it a secret so Jenny can announce him on her own blog.
