February 16, 2013: Beau Benjamin joins the Dunlap family!

February 216, 2013--The day of Beau's birth was a fun and memorable one. Jessica and her family went to Lowe's and then to the park to play and came over for a visit afterwards. Jess was having mild labor contractions during this time. We were all hungry and decided to eat lunch at Ghengis Grill, but Jess and Seb had to stop off at their apartment first to pick up their hospital bags. At the restaurant, Jessica could hardly breathe between contractions because they were coming hard and fast now. We ate, said goodbye, then took Hudson home with us.

Jess and Seb stopped at a park on their way to the downtown Presbyterian Hospital to do some walking, but Jess could hardly walk. Their baby came within an hour of their check-in time! Here are some photos of the day:

See how small and cute he is?
