August 17, 2005 HAPPY BIRTHDAY JONATHAN TATE POOLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

JT's finally here!!! He was born Wednesday, August 17, at 2:15PM, with all his fingers and toes, and is definitely his father's son. He weighed 7 lbs. 6.6 oz., and was 20.5" long. Crystal did fantastic, and was up and around 3 hours later. We had checked into Oktibbeha Co. Hostpital Tuesday afternoon at 4PM, and they put Crystal on Cervidil to get things rolling. Wednesday morning, they started her on Pitocin to induce labor, and after her epidural, things went along just fine. By 1:30PM, she started pushing, and JT was doing his best to get out. Dr. Chester (Cleothis) Lott delivered JT, and popped him out without any trouble! After a brief stay in the nursery, they let JT come back to our room, and he slept in my lap most of the night, happy as could be. We were able to get discharged (a minor ordeal...) after 30 hours (it should have been 24...), and we are settling in nicely thanks to the help of both our families and plenty of friends. We are now experts at changing diapers, and JT is an expert at filling them...
