More Ruby

I'll start with the update:

Jane and I are back home. We ended up staying 3 days in the hospital. Jane had lost a lot of blood after the delivery and the doctor decided to order a blood transfusion. It was actually pretty nice to stay in the hospital where people bring food to my wife and help her get up whenever she needs it. My parents both work at Deaconess, so it was nice to have them able to easily pay us visits. Jane's family come up also to see their first niece/grandchild. Our church has also been great by providing us with meals every night since we've been back. What a blessing!

Now for more pictures:

Aren't they both so pretty?

Ruby Roxanne Gross

Jane delivered a healthy baby girl this morning at 8:04 AM. The labor went very well. Ruby weighs in at 8 pounds, 8 ounces, 20 3/4 inches long. Jane required some medical attention immediately following the delivery but she is doing well now. Jane is glad not to be pregnant anymore. All three of us are just about due for some rest. More to come!
