He was born Tuesday night, March 3 (one year to the day that we left the States for Brazil). His name is Ben Marshall Jewell and he weighed in at six pounds and four ounces. I was induced a couple weeks early due to complications involving gestational diabetes and an unexplained intense itch. After a ten-hour day, Ben arrived at 9:44 pm. He and mom are doing great. Jonah and Andy are thrilled, and Dad is on cloud nine with boy number three. Thank you all for your prayers and your concerns during the difficult pregnancy. I knew the minute I saw baby Ben that it was all worth it.
oh, he's beautiful! has that bald, blonde head like Andy did! but he definitely has his own look. can't wait to hold him.

I am happy to see a healthy baby! I was hopping to see some dark hair, but a beautiful face will do. I'm glad all are doing well. Hug the boys for Dawn Dawn.
