Garrett Alan Jensen

Garrett came into the world faster than we anticipated and we didn't get to the hospital in time for an epidural. I never thought I'd ever have a baby without any medication, but I survived and I could actually walk to the bathroom unassisted after the delivery! Wow! Much better than floppy legs for hours after an epidural, though I'm not sure I'd ever voluntarily vote for a natural birth again. It's kind of nice to enjoy the event pain-free. I guess we'll see what happens for the next one.

Here are a few pictures of our newest little boy! We have had to stay a bit longer than planned here in the hospital due to jaundice, but we're hoping to have our family together by tonight or tomorrow by noon.

Cameron is VERY excited to be a brother again and take care of a baby.



Unfortunately we forgot our camera in the car for the delivery (people keep saying things like, "I can tell this is your 4th baby"), so the only pictures we have of us right after the delivery are on Clint and Gran's phones. We'll post those pictures later.

Oh Mari! I LOVE the name, and loved seeing pictures of the newest Jensen. What a little doll! I remember going through the light/jaundice treatment with Whitney, too. Not fun to NOT have your newborn in your arms! We hope you guys get to come home soon. Thinking of you! xoxo
