Meet Jacob Steven Stutler!

My beautiful sister and her wonderful hubby gave birth to their first baby on Saturday, May 31 (which also happens to be Shannon's 28th birthday! His actual due date was June 10). Jacob Steven was born after a DREAMY (seriously!) 5 hour labor. Shannon was able to go all natural with no epidural. Jacob weighed in at 6 lbs., 15 oz. and was 20 inches long. Mom and baby are doing well! Thanks for all your prayers and love. They will post more pics and details on their blog in the forthcoming weeks. Jacob looks just like his dad here! His future as a musician is off to a rockin' start.

P.S. For those of you who participated in Shannon's "Shower-in-a-Box," she will be blogging about it in the next few weeks. The plan was for them to open gifts and take pictures this past Saturday, and well, plans changed! :)

  6. I don't really see Steve in that pic, he looks like Shannon to me. Either way, he's going to be a cutie.

    And I never knew Shannon was such a pioneer kind of woman, she seems like an epidural kind of person to me :)

  9. Awwww! He totally looks like shan in this pic...and i think he looks like Steve in the cell phone pic she sent me! A good mix of both, I guess.

    I'm soooooo glad everything went well, and I am sooooo proud of Shannon too! She rocks! I can only hope my experience in 8 weeks goes just as well! (please!!! ;)

    congrats auntie suzanne and uncle aron! and cousin mags too! ;)

  10. Patrice, you think shan's some kind of sissy? i'll let her know.

    i can only pray this kid becomes a rocket scientist or mathematician. too many musicians/artists in my family already. but he has long fingers and he's already tapping out 3/4 beats with much syncopation. he already loves stewart copeland.

  11. oh and patrice, sometimes we don't intend on being the pioneer type and actually *want* drugs...but it's either too late/fast progression (shan's case) or they don't work (my case), but either way I guess God intended for us to find out how strong we really can be- even if we didn't want to! ha!
