Barrett Jay
(Nicknamed "Baby Bear" for now, and Jay is for Michelle's grandfather who passed away 2 years ago)
The last day of our Arizona trip ended with a phone call from Michelle saying she was in the hospital because Barrett decided he needed to be born 3 weeks early. We kept in touch via cell phone as we drove for 10 hours to get home. Jaron and Michelle described a pretty exciting birth. Michelle was not feeling any pain until they broke her water, and in less than an hour, and with no medication whatsoever, Barrett made a grand entrance. And when I say 'grand', Jaron describes the event by saying that after only 2 pushes, he "shot out and was practically airborne, and the doctor barely made it into the room to catch him!" He is a beautiful baby and definitely looks like he is a brother to Gavin and Sawyer, but maybe looks a bit more like Gavin. He weighed 7 lbs. 3 ozs. and was 20 inches long. He had a little bit of trouble breathing for the first few hours, but now is doing fine. Below is a quick snap in the hospital. I'll take a 'formal' newborn portrait in a few days.
This makes our tenth grandchild, and we feel so blessed!!!!

Congratulations Karen! What a beautiful baby, he's so adorable and doesn't look like he's a newborn, Barrett is perfect! And mom is so blessed to have such an easy time giving birth to your newest addiction, what a quick delivery. This baby couldn't wait to get into the world obviously.
Ten grandchildren, WOW, then times the fun! I'm looking forward to more photos, it would be awesome to see all ten grandchildren in one photo... ahhh good luck with that one! ;-)
Have a fantastic day Karen and congrats once again!
he is beautiful.
A huge congratulations to Michelle and Jaron and to you and Jeff. What a miracle. Your colors and contrasts are amazing. I'm a little jealous of baby bear's fluffy hair. He has gorgeous skin color too. It almost looks like he's smiling in the picture with his parents.
congratulations, he is so beautiful
Congratulations Karen and family. He is a beautiful newborn and I rarely say that about newborns. I'm glad all are doing well. I've never heard the name Barrett before so I'm sure he'll be unique there also.

What a beautiful family! Barrett is so sweet and handsome too. Congratulations to all the family.
Wow number 10. He is gorgeous. A quick birth is OK if you're in the hospital. My second one was born in 45 mins from the first pain. I nearly didn't get to the hospital in time.
Congratulations...that is one gorgeous baby...he sure would have been a big one if he had waited three more weeks...sending hugs from TN!!!
