We are introducing Jeshua Carl Johann to the world. His momma is one tough chick that earned 100 times more honor in my eyes having pushed an iron cannonball through a garden hose. Her water broke at 4am on Monday 12/22. She was committed to go all natural so we waited as long as possible before using petocyn (sp?) to induce more consistent contractions at 10:30pm. Started pushing at 5:30am 12/23 and without any eppy's she pushed out a 14.5" head at 10am 12/23. He was 9.9 lbs and measured off their midget rulers at 22.5" long. Katherine had a supernatural pain endurance from God and can actually say that through about 90% of the 30 hour process her pain level was as high as 4 on a scale of 1 to 10. More will come later after we sleep ;-)
P.S. We have no idea where the hair came from; definitely not Daddy!

The consensus among the Burdicks (Junior) and the Swans is that he is perfect! He has his mommy's hair, we think. His mouth and nose reminds us of Brad when he was little. He is going to change quickly though. . .
