Extra Extra....

Where to begin...well let's start with Jace Andrew Ritchie is finally here. He weighed 7lb 15 oz and was 21 inches long. Jenny went in last night at 6:00, was awake all night with pain, a very on the ball but gay nurse named Clint (he brought his A-game and made Jenny very happy.) Today she spent all day fighting with the epidural (which didn't giver her enough narcotics to satisfy the "hunger" she had.) We found out shortly after that Jace had inhaled some of the fluid and now it is in his lungs; so they are watching to make sure he doesn't develop pneumonia. If it doesn't go according to plan, they will ship him off to Tri-Cities instead of Spokane. Here is a picture of the little cutie. At first I was unsure if he looked like us, but I can see it now.
