Well. Here I am at home, returned from the depths of hell known as Hardin Memorial Hospital to tell you, I am a mommy, again.

I went into labor at 5 Monday morning, and had my baby at 4:19 p.m. We named him Jacob Henry Maxwell, Mark likes to call him Jacob "Got a Minute" Maxwell. Anyways. He has red hair and blue eyes, and was 5 lbs 13 oz and 18 inches long. He's so gorgeous, and I can't get over the fact he looks nothing like me at all...it's so weird how with babies one parent can be totally excluded in the looks department. Hopefully Jacob won't have my personality but I think he might since he doesn't like to sleep at night and is a BIT more whiny than Jonathan.

I might come across as more thrilled about my new baby if I had a bit more sleep and wasn't so worn out from, well, having a baby. Ah, but it was worth it. And Mark is freaking over the moon about this baby, so proud and happy. He is especially pleased over the fact that he has red hair...this baby looks JUST like Mark. It's nice.

Of course, my tune might have changed by next week when I have both boys here. Mom brought Jonathan over for a bit last night and he wanted nothing to do with me, he's mad at me. Which hurt my feelings pretty badly because I miss him, and I don't think he misses me. Mom said I would do the same thing to my dad when I was that young and he would go to the field, when he would come back I would ignore him, she said it was some kind of defense mechanism. Still bothers me. And Jonathan was in no way thrilled with this new little screaming person.

I'm so tired. Bye bye now, nappy nap time.
