the following is my husband's account of our crazy yesterday. I don't feel like writing it out.
Wow, I became an uncle yesterday!!! Cass & I are Aunt Cassidy and Uncle Ken to Rob and Michelle’s beautiful little baby, Jesse Allen. Little Jesse was born Feb. 1, 2008 at 1:27am, and at 9lbs 7oz and 21” long, he resembled his Dad remarkably! Rob was 21.5” long and 9lbs 11oz when he was born! So you may be wondering, wait a sec, Michelle was pregnant? Well, this cute little bundle was more of a surprise then most babies usually are. Here’s the story...
Cass and I had Jessica come over to hang out. We wanted to show her the pictures of our honeymoon and the gifts that we got from the wedding and to share stories. Well, around 3:40pm I get a phone call from Michelle’s cell phone and it’s Rob calling to see if we wanted to hang out tonight. I informed him that unfortunately we already had plans with Jess and suggested we hang out tomorrow. Rob was quite persistent about us coming out tonight and I asked him if there’s a reason for the urgency. Rob explained, “Well, we want you to come out because we want you to meet your new nephew.” ...............Silence.......”Wait, what do you mean?” I replied. Cass and I never knew Michelle was pregnant, so naturally we were quite shocked. Here’s the crazy part...Jesse was an even bigger surprise to Rob and Michelle! Michelle never knew she was pregnant!
Thursday, Jan. 31st at like 5am, Michelle woke up feeling kind of sick and by 10am she decided she needed to go to the doctor. So since she trusted U of M Hospital she went there, after being there most of the morning and into the afternoon/early evening they realized what was going on. She was having contractions and the baby was ready! This was news to Michelle, she never even suspected she was pregnant. Her body had barely changed in 9 months, she only gained a few pounds and a couple inches around the waste. So, Rob gets a call from Michelle at around 7pm revealing her day and that he’s going to be a father TONIGHT! Rob of course rushed to the hospital and called his plowing boss to say he wouldn’t be in tonight. (It snowed pretty good that night too) after only about 2 hours of labor, little Jesse Allen was born at 1:27am. He’s healthy, and boy is he ever cute!
When Cass and I got the call, Jessica had the presence of mind to ask how big the baby was and we darted out of the apartment to go visit. First, we made a run to Toys R’ Us to get some gifts for the baby. God’s timing was amazing. Just that day, about 2 hours before I got Rob’s phone call, Cass and I got a $100 Visa card from Rent.com for referring to them as where we found our apartment. So we basically gave that to Jesse, especially since Michelle didn’t get to have a baby shower. So we took Jessica with us and got her discount at TRU and bought everything we could think of that Rob and Michelle would need for Jesse except for a car seat. God blessed Cass and I to be a blessing for them! With little things like that that happen, how could anyone not believe that God exists!
Unfortunately, Cass and I accidently did something yesterday that we NEVER do when big things like this happen...we forgot our camera! I couldn’t believe we never even thought of grabbing it! So I took that picture of Jesse and a few others with my phone. Thank goodness for camera phones right?
