Anchor James Christensen

8 lbs 6 oz
20 1/2 inches

Peter, Jennie, and Clementine are so excited to welcome baby Anchor into their family! Aunt Sari is so excited to have another baby to love and spoil!

We were all very surprised to get a text at 6:00 AM yesterday announcing a baby. I had no idea Jennie had even gone into labor. Very understandable after I heard the story. Jennie woke up around 2 am to use the bathroom. While she was up she started having some contractions. She did a few laps around the house and even did some stairs. At 3 am she woke Pete up saying she thought she was in labor. They called my mom who came right over and they headed to the hospital. They arrived at the hospital at 4 AM with Jennie saying ... "this baby is coming!" Not checked in, no IV, NO DOCTOR, no hospital gown, no stirrups .... 18 minutes after they arrived at the hospital Anchor was born! Thank goodness for good nurses! Two hours start to finish! What a lucky girl Jennie is. Both baby and Jennie are doing great! He is a little chunk with very kissable cheeks. We are smitten already!
