Well, here we go again! Our little family has expanded with the addition of Christopher Zane.
Zane was born this morning at 8:12 and weighed in at a hefty 8 pounds 10 ounces.
He looks remarkably like his older brother, but his hair is darker (without the red that Zeke had, but with some blond highlights...).
So far (6 1/2 hours into things) he does have Ezekiel's mellow temperament. He has cried little, yawned much and suckled well. (Does that qualify as TMI?)
In the TMI department, as the doctors were concluding the tubal ligation (tying the tubes for you medically non-inclined) they discovered that Jill had only one ovary. Just another testament to the blessings that Jill and I have enjoyed with our family. It's amazing that we got pregnant as easily as we did since she was only outputting eggs from one side.
She is progressing well. Still only having ice chips (which makes me a horses patoot for eating my candy and drinking my coke, but hey no sense in BOTH of us starving, right?) and hopefully will be able to get up and around some time this evening. Lord willing and no creeks rising (although the creek rising is much more possible since it started raining....) we should all be home some time Thursday. That is optimistic, but that's just the kind of people we are.
Thanks for all the prayers and good wishes. Cards and visits have been great too! Love you all!
Chris, Jill, Zeke and Zane

Congrats guys. I hope to get up and visit you today if I can. I'm home with the girls.
But, anyways, congrats.
Now get back to work.
You want to watch it with that candy- when Gena was in labor (final few minutes) with Jessa, I had taken G's 4 y/o nephew to the snack machines ("The poor l'il fella's so hungry"- Gena's mom) and while there scarfed a bag of chios myself (Hey, it'd been a long day!). Got back to the labor room and hurried to my beloved's side. Oops. Too close. Smelled my breath in the middle oif a contractioin, raised up halfway out of the seat; "YOU ATE POTATO CHIPS! DON"T YOU EVER EAT POTATO CHIPS WHILE I'M IN LABOR AGAIN!!!" Terrified me. Didn't help that the nurse was snickering in the corner.
You lucked out, Bubba.
(And yes, Genny's birth was indeed potato chip free.)
Exciting! (and yes, I hope you did not eat potato chips while Jill was ltd. to ice chips!)
This might explain why we haven't heard from you...
