He's here!!! I went to the hospital on Wednesday afternoon around 1:30pm. I had been having contractions that morning. Once Joe got home from work we headed to the hospital because my contractions were about six minutes apart. I was dilated to four centimeters and about 90% effaced. I went for the epidural as soon as I could, which was about 4:00pm. The doctor came into check around 6:00 and I was dilated to six centimeters and that is when she broke my water. I was hoping things would go quickly but that didn't seem to be the case. I wasn't checked again until 9:00pm and I was 8 centimeters. I finally got to start pushing around 1:00am and little Jaxson was born at 1:51 am on August 6, 2009. Everything went great. He weighed 7 lbs 6 oz and he was 21 1/2 inches long. He is our little prince. I could sit and stare at him all day. Thank God for my mom who has been staying with us the past few days. Its really been a great help. Joe goes back to work tomorrow so we will see how things go. I'm excited for Gracyn to come and meet her baby brother. We are all doing awesome. A lot of family came over today to visit. It truly is a blessing to have our little guy home. I'm just amazed by him.
