December Surprise!
Dec 17th, 2008 by Jesse Moore
Kami came home from work Wednesday afternoon and decided to check the mail. She opened the mailbox, and contemplated waving at a nearby neighbor when her water broke, and she decided against it. We were a little surprised – thinking that we had a solid three weeks before we had to organize a mad scramble to the hospital. Needless to say, this made our scramble all the more mad 
We got to the hospital at 5pm, and our friend Megan Antonius (who was our attending nurse when Selah was born thanks to her willingness to change shifts) arrived around 8pm. Megan is a Labor & Delivery Nurse, and an awesome asset to have in a delivery room (takes some of the pressure off of me mostly). Kami started pushing around 11:50pm, and at around 12:20am on Wednesday, 12/17/2008, our second child was born.
A baby boy! We were very surprised because Kami’s pregnancy didn’t seem to vary that much from when she carried Selah. His name is David Carrico Moore: David for literal reasons (read 1st Samuel 17:58), and Carrico after one of my favorite people on earth, my grandfather Frank Carrico. We had the name planned before Kami and I were married (just as Selah’s was), and I’m glad that we get to honor him with a grandson.
These pictures aren’t the best, so I’ll post more tomorrow. Right now it’s almost 2am, and everyone is a little tired. The baby is healthy (7 lbs, 12 oz; 19.5 inches tall), and Kami is also feeling healthy and strong.
Welcome David! You are loved!
God bless you and congratulations!!!
Congratulations!!! We are SO looking forward to meeting David!

Congratulations you two! I want to cry……..it is such a special time…and I know what it is like to be caught off guard
, but I think it makes the moment that much more special and memorable because you didn’t have time to plan….it just happened! Love you all, Raechel
It’s amazing, Jesse. Congratulations to all of you. He’s a great looking kid and we know he’ll bring great joy to you and Kami. What a great early Christmas present! David son of Jesse. I love it! Now you’ll just have to convince him to name his first son Solomon… think it’ll fly? You’ve a while to work on it. Cheers brother.
