HE IS HERE! Gunner Lynn West was born at 7:55am on Thursday, March 12th, 2009. He was 6 lbs 14 oz and 20 1/2 inches long. We had a little bit of a struggle with him at first as we were released from the hospital on Saturday evening and then they admitted Gunner back in on Sunday due to his weight dropping to 6 lbs 2 oz and his having a bad case of jaundice. He spent the night under the lights and was woken up to feed every three hours. By Monday at 3:30pm we were told that his bilirubin count had come down to 13.2 (it was up to 21.5) and that he now weighed 6 lbs 7 oz. YEAH! We were told we could take him home! Once we got done hugging and crying as a family we packed up and headed home. Now it is Wednesday and my little man has been home for 2 straight nights in a row. He is more alert, eating like a horse, and just looking as cute as every.
So...without further ado may I present the best thing that ever happend to Kelley and Jesse West!

Amazing aren't they...congratulations. One of God's blessings in life. Now remember that when he is older.
what a "little pickle" or maybe "dumpling"?
whichever you prefer.
SEE YOU IN JUNE!
We are so happy for all of you, us included. We do look forward to wrapping hugs around all of you and giving this little guy a truly warm welcome. Thank you God for this little blessing for Jesse, Kelley and all of us.
