It has been a long couple of days for us here in Austin, but I finally had a chance to sit down and write an 
"official" baby post for our new daughter:
Genevieve Elise Crouch was born Thursday morning, April 9th, at 1:42am. She weighed 9 lbs, 11 oz., and was exactly 22 inches long. Needless to say, I think she is drop-dead gorgeous.
My wife's labor started around 5pm on Wednesday afternoon and we went to the hospital at 10:45pm, so we were there less than three hours before we welcomed our latest family member! Here's a little soundtrack music as you check out the pics: http://blip.fm/profile/jasoncrouch/blip/6939047
One reason for the faster labor was the fact that Genevieve kicked during a contraction and broke Pam's water! I guess she was anxious to get here and meet us.
Pam is truly my hero - this is her fourth natural delivery (i.e. no epidural, no drugs, etc.). She is a strong woman! Frankly, she already looks about like she did before she got pregnant!
To those of you who saw my brief updates on Twitter and Facebook, I really appreciate all of the well wishes that we received. In fact, I was overwhelmed by the response. Thank you so much.
Last night, our 3-year old daughter, Abby, spiked a fever of over 103 degrees, so I had to take her to the pediatrician today. Please pray that the new baby will not get sick, since the fever may be viral in nature. Abby has started on antibiotics as a precaution.
Abby is REALLY looking forward to having a baby sister. She has been walking around all day saying, "My baby's name is Jenny." She loves the baby so much that it is tangible. I still get overwhelmed to think that we helped make a whole new person.
I hope you enjoy the pictures! We will be bringing mom and baby home tomorrow around mid-day. We plan to call Genevieve "Jenny" for now, since we thought Genevieve was the kind of name that you kind of have to grow into over time. Abby's full name is actually Abrielle, for those of you who didn't already know.
Thanks again for your prayers and gifts! I look forward to lots of great updates and photos here in the upcoming months.
Aleah (8 years old) holding Jenny
My mom, Aleah (8), Abby (3), and Genevieve
Happy Dad!
Happy, Beautiful and Tired Mom!

Congratulations to all of you! What a blessing!
Well done Jason ! You and the wifey did a great job ~ she's a beauty :o)

Fellow Recent Daddy !!!
She is pretty, Jason, and Jenny is a pretty name for her. I like it spelled the traditional or old-fashioned way, like in the poem "Jenny Kissed Me",
Jason congrats to you and your family! Beautiful baby. Now, take some time off and spend it with the family.
Congrats again for the entire Crouch Family! Not only was she born on my birthday-My daughter's name is Jenny! Looking forward to seeing her grow up here on AR.
Waaaaaa, i didn't get featured with my baby blog! waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
Jason - Congratulations to you, Pam and the entire family!!! Jenny is beautiful and Pam looks absolutely wonderful and look at you beaming from ear to ear! You are truly blessed with such a beautiful family. Have a wonderful Easter!
Jason - she looks like you :) and very alert! I guess she was ready. And Pam looks awesome! Congrats to all of you. ~Rita
Congrats, Jason. She's lovely.

Kathy
Congratulations Jason. Jenny is precious! Give her lots of hugs and kisses! So thankful that Pam is doing well also. You can tell you are one proud papa in the photo! I'm so happy for you and your family :)
She is beautiful......seriously. Congratulations to Pam and you.
Once again Jason.. CONGRATULATIONS to you... She looksjust like you.
Greg.... Same here.. No featured post for baby post...Guess we are just not Jason Crouch.. LOL
Jason and Pam and ALL family members; CONGRAT'S on the newest STAR of your household. She (Jenny, as Abby says) IS beautiful. AND.... OUCH, to Pam, for delivering the Big Bouncing Baby Girl! No pain med? WOW, is my final word!
Jason - Congratulations to you and Pam. Wishing you and your family a Happy Easter.
Sweet photos. Congratulations to you and your family!
Congrats Jason on your new addition :)
I think she is the most beautiful newborn baby girl I have ever seen! Really! Look at those cheeks:) Jason, you are a lucky, lucky man!! Congrats
Jason,
Wow, congratulations. The baby is gorgeous. Everybody is happy. Tired and happy. Have a lot of fun with your kids.
Times is flying fast. My grand-kids are older than your children, and chances of getting the next generation are realistically not great, as my grandchildren are boys, and to get kids you have better chances with girls. At least, I have two grandchildren from my daughter, and I still have nothing from my 37-y.o. son.
So use your time now to the fullest. It is your best time.
She's a beauty! Just like all the other girls in your life. Congrats again. :-)
Jason,
Blessings to you and your amazing family! Jenny is soooooooooooooo precious and Pam you look fabulous!!
Hi Jason~ Yes, Genevieve IS gorgeous. Congratulations to you and Pam! I love her name, it is the same name as my grand daughter!
Congrats buddy on the newest Crouch Addition!
Jason & Crouch Family,

Congratulations! She is beautiful and I can say I share a birthday with a real cutie!
A big Congratulations to the Crouch family. What a blessing and what a beautiful family.
Awesome, happy for you! Beautiful baby and you are even featured! Can't get better than that!
Congratulations to you and Pam! What a beautiful baby Genevieve is! You are so right -- what a strong woman Pam is doing this natural. I'm glad she is healthy and everything is doing well. Take care...
WooHoo! Congratulations! She is beautiful. I'm sure she'll be a good baby and sleep lots for you and I hope your other daughter gets better real soon!
Jason
Congratulations to your whole family. You are such a great person and you are such a Blessed man to have such a beautiful growing family. God has FAVOR on you my friend. What a great Easter gift for the kids.
Jason,
Congratulations on the beautiful addition to your incredible family......I am still disappointed that you did not let me name the baby but I will admit you did a perfect job of naming her.
Much congratulations!!! Your baby is lucky to be born into such a loving family. We look forward to many more pictures for years to come.
Congratulations on your new arrival!
She looks so alert for such a newborn, and you look so happy. You're just beaming.
Congratulations!
Welcome Genevieve to the world Jason and Pam. I am so happy for you!! What a cutie...
That is one darling baby and tell Pam I hope she recovers quickly. You have a nice family!! Praise God for so many blessings!
Jason - Congrats to you and all your family from Las Vegas Nevada, she is a beautiful addition to your family. What a wonderful Easter present and "Happy Easter" Jason!
Vegas Bob
She is indeed beautiful. And as karma would have it my no spam graphic word for this comment is lovi-lovi which I'm so totally sure your Jenny will be getting plenty of. Congratulations to your entire family and I sure hope your Abby is feeling better very soon.
Thanks for sharing the wonderful pix of your new doll and other family members. I'm glad you'll call her Jenny. Genevieve is a beautiful name but quite a BIG name for such a little girl. She will definitely grow into it. I hope Abby is okay and doesn't have anything serious.
"I think she is drop-dead gorgeous" So do I. Jenny is very lucky to have you and your beautiful loving family. Hope Abby is feeling better so she can enjoy being the "big" sister.
Jason, congratulations and you have one BEAUTIFUL baby! And your wife Pam looks great for a new mom! She is truly amazing. I did natural labor once...then epidurals after that. A blessed Happy Easter to your and your entire family! ~ Sharon
Congratulations to you and Pam. What a beautiful baby girl! A wonderful Easter gift to the Crouch family. Hope Abby is feeling better soon.
Jason and Pam congratulations on the new daughter. You really have a lovely family, here is hoping you will get some rest.
Life does not get any better than this. What a beautiful family-Dinah Lee
Jason...
Congratulations on your new arrival ... you have every right to be very proud of your entire family!

Jason, your new baby daughter is just beautiful! So, it sounds like there might be something in that Rain water!
Jason, Congratulations! She is simply adorable!
OK. No more babies for you! I personally think you're nuts >.< LOL. I'm so glad my one and only "baby" is 19 years old, and home from bible college for the weekend, sitting at the kitchen table doing homework right now. Ahh. God is good =D
Dear Jason and family. Congratulations on your new baby Jenny! She is beautiful. I am far away in Red Feather but my good wishes stretch all the way to Texas, with a get well wish for Abby!
Jason ~ Happy Day of Birth to your newest family member. She, as are the rest of the women in your family, is just beautiful. Congratulations just seems to inadequate when a new person makes it here but please know we are thinking about you and thankful all went well. Looking forward to your updates :)
CONGRATS. U LOOK LIKE A PROUD DADDY.
CONGRATS. U LOOK LIKE A PROUD DADDY.
Jason- Congratulations to you and Pam for a healthy baby girl! Welcome Jenny! What a great time to have a baby in the glorious season when we celebrate Our Lord Jesus' atonement for our sins and his glorious Resurrection! A time of new birth in more ways than one!
Nope, no Buick emblem on her forehead like I was expecting when you announced the weight. Just a precious little Crouch. Good work, mom and dad. She's a keeper.
Jason, congratulations on your gorgeous baby girl and the best of everything to your sweet family.
Congrats on the new baby! I would not be able to take 4 kids on showings (You would have to read one of my posts from today.)
I had to come back....she is gorgeous :)
Finally, photos! Congrats to the entire family, Jason and I hope that Abby is feeling better soon so she can give Jenny all the hugs and kisses she wants.
Jason - Congratulations my friend! Hope the whole family is happy and well. Now go get some rest and come back after you've calmed down from all the excitement!
Congratulations Jason and Pam,
What a wonderful addition to the Crouch family. Always loved the name Jenny. Have one of my own.
Way to go!!
Congratulations Jason...she is adorable! We're very happy for you guys! We'll certainly say a prayer that Abby gets well very soon. God bless my friend.
Jason,
She's beautiful! And she's got your cheeks too! LOL
Here's one of my favorite baby poems:
BABIES DON'T KEEP
Mother, oh Mother,
come shake out your cloth,
empty the dustpan,
poison the moth,
hang out the washing
and butter the bread,
sew on a button and make up a bed.
Where is the mother whose house
is so shocking?
She's up in the nursery,
blissfully rocking.
Oh, I've grown shiftless as Little
Boy Blue (lullaby, rockaby, lullaby loo).
Dishes are waiting and bills are past due
(pat-a-cake, darling, and peek, peekaboo).
The shopping's not done
and there's nothing for stew
and out in the yard there's a hullabaloo
but I'm playing Kanga and this is my Roo.
Look! Aren't her eyes the most wonderful hue?
(lullaby, rockaby, lullaby loo).
The cleaning and scrubbing
will wait till tomorrow,
for Children grow up,
as I've learned to my sorrow.
So quiet down, cobwebs.
Dust go to sleep.
I'm rocking my baby and babies don't keep......
~Author Unknown ~
What a wonderful addition to your beautiful family! I'm excited and rejoicing with you!
Great Job Jason!!!! What a wonderful blessing......just in time for Easter!!!!
Cheers
Congratulations to you and your family on your new baby girl! Beautiful baby, beautiful name! Happy Easter!
That's just Too Darn Cute! Enjoy EVERY MINUTE of it, Jason!! :)
Congratulations on your new baby. Keep Abby away from the baby for several days. My son had meningitis at five weeks old. It is a very serious conditions. There are many theories why he got the meningitis one of them, someone was sick around my baby.
You have a beautiful Family, Congratulations!!
Jason, Warmest congratulations on your beautiful Jenny. Savor the moments!
Jason - Congratulations! What a beautiful little girl. Enjoy her at this beautiful Easter time!
Mary
Jason...Congrats, and glad everything is good. Now for the next few months, say goodbye to the long nights sleep. ;-)
Jason, Congratulations to your whole family! She is beautiful!
CONGRATULATIONS, Jason!
Jenny is absolutely adorable! Love those rosy cheeks of hers. Glad to hear all went well with the delivery. Enjoy your new addition. Looking forward to seeing more pics.
Brigita
Jason, I am so happy for you, Pam, big brother and big sisters as Jenny is a wonderful addition to your already beautiful family. How fitting that she was born on Holy Thursday - a true blessing and yes, I agree, both Jenny and mom do look gorgeous. It's so funny that she's 9 lbs and 22 inches long which is not a small baby yet, she looks tiny in your arms. I imagine that's where you'll be keeping her for awhile - close and secure. Wishing all the Crouch's lots of happy moments with Jenny and not too many sleepness nights. Enjoy every single moment - they grow up way too fast! ~Anne Marie
Jason that is too sweet! Thanks for sharing this with all of us. Her Redskin jersey is on its way! j/k
Now that's a baby, and a cute one. You and I have a buddy system going. You have 4 and I have none. Between us the average is 2.
Jason - what a beautiful baby, and congratulations to you and your wife. What a wonderful addition. Congratulations!
Congratulations, Jason! She is beautiful! And, she looks just like you! :)
Jason, I somehow missed the whole story until this post. Congratulations to you, your wife and the whole family. Yes, the baby is drop-dead gorgeous.
Happy Easter! See, you didn't have to wait for the Easter Bunny to get your best ever gift!
Congratulations Jason - Abby is going to relish being a "big sister!"
BTW - have a quick question: Is Abby going to get Jenny started on Twitter yet, or are you? Couldn't resist LOL
Congrats to you and your family on the newest addition!
Absolutely gorgeous! Congratulations.
Congratulations Jason! ANd mom looks really good after that, too.
Ho Ho!!!! Congratulations! I spoke with Pam on the phone last night and she sounded great! Talk to you soon!
Let me be the 1 millionth post... ha ha. Congrats again!
Congratulations sir on the birth of your daughter. I must add it looks as tho the father is rather proud. ;-)
Let me add my congratulations, Jason. There is no time in one's life quite like the ones when new babies join our world. Here's hoping the fairy tale continues...
Congratulations to you, mom, children and the rest of your family. She is definitely a cutie and already blessed to be born into such a great family. What a way to celebrate Easter - Happy Easter!

Jason, congratulations to you and Pam. You have a beautiful family...the photo were great. The first glance I saw of Pam...she looked a little like Sarah Palin. Thanks for sharing your famil with your AR family.
Jason and Pam,
She's beautiful! Congratulations.
9lb 11oz is a HEALTHY baby girl!! Were the other kids that big when they were born? I have three brothers and we were all between 9 lbs and 9 lbs 15oz.
Awesome news. I was a big baby too (in many ways I still am!).
God Bless you all Jason - what a joy! and beautiful photos too...
Happy Healthy Easter
Sincerely,
Grace
Jason, your whole family is lovely - thanks for sharing the pics and congratulations.
God bless you all. Thanks for sharing! She's a beauty!
Congratulations Jason - what a beautiful baby!
It is such a wonderful experience welcoming a new soul to a family.
Congrats to you both! Wow-Pam you are the WOMAN! She's absolutely beautiful!
Great blessings to you and your family, Jason!
Congrats to you and your wife on a healthy baby girl! Is she on Twitter yet?
What a beautiful baby! And what fun to have all those daughters. It has been so long since we have had a baby in our family....we are seriously baby deprived.
Congrats!
Congrats to you and your wife & your beautiful daughter !
All of us in the AR family are so happy for your family, Jason. I am the oldest of 4 girls. I hope you have plenty of bathrooms!
Congratulations and Happy Easter!

Hi Jason, I knew from Amanda Hall that you and Pam were on the way to the hospital the other night, but just got here tonight to read about Genevieve!! Congrats to all of you, what a blessing.
Hi Jason - Congrats on the addition to the family. Love the name...of course coming from a true "frenchie" myself Christianne Rochelle ;-)
Jason,
What a beautiful Baby, you must be a proud Papa. I was baby sitting my granddaughter(4-months) last night with my wife. What a joy, good job.
Rebecca - Actually, Pam does look like Sarah Palin in real life, especially when she is wearing makeup and not in labor. :)
Bob - Three of our kids were over 9 lbs. at birth (Brandon was 9-9, Abby was 9-6, and now Genevieve). Abby was our peanut, at a mere 8-1. Hope you're doing well!
TO EVERYONE - THANK YOU for your kind messages here. We got Pam and Genevieve home today from the hospital, and thus begins our new life as parents of four kids, rather than three. I plan to show Pam all of your comments when she is feeling less tired. Have a terrific and blessed Easter!
Jason - Glad to hear everyone is home and healthy. 9 pounds 11 oz. wow!! Thank goodness that woman have babies, men would just refuse to give birth I think. Congratulations. Thanks for sharing your baby girls picture with us. Very cute.
Super news and you and your wife are so lucky to have a quiver of kids. Family and relationships are what really matters the most!
Jason, Congratulations to you and Pam! Our #4 child was 10 lbs, 11 oz. He was the only one born with an epidural. Pam is truly a strong woman! How blessed you are to have her and the babies! Enjoy!
Jason, Pam and family,
CONGRATULATIONS!
What a beautiful family for little Jenny to be a part of. You are all blessed - very blessed!
Thank you for sharing your family with your AR family. I feel like an 'aunt' to more children - and that is a wonderful feeling.
God has blessed you richly.
Jason - Congratulations. Always great to hear about happy occasions. Great pictures. Enjoy your family. Good to hear that mom and baby are well. I hope your 3 year old gets well soon.
Hi Jason & Pam, Congratulations on your precious little girl. The pictures are great!!! Hope you are all rested Pam, you've got a lot on your plate now. I know Jason and Mom will give you lots of help, Abby and Aleah too. Happy Easter!!!!!!
