Our New Little Guy!!


After a crazy day and a half and finding out that I was going to be induced we finally got to meet our newest family member!!! On Wednesday June 25th I went in for my regular doctors appointment, not expecting anything exciting. The midwife checked my blood pressure which was really high. She told us she was sending us up to labor and delivery to get some tests done and said we probably wont be back without a baby! Wow, not what we were expecting to hear that day. We went up and got some tests done and my blood pressure finally calmed down, so they ended up sending me home that day on bed rest and scheduled me to be induced the next morning.
At 6:30 the next day we head in to labor and delivery. Everything thing went really smooth with the labor and the delivery until the baby finally came. We had some complications with too much bleeding at the end and they had to take me down to fix me up. It was about 4 hours until the 3 of us were finally together again. Praise the Lord though, everything ended well and we have a healthy baby! We loved our experience here at the hospital in Jackson and were able to have lots of visitors during our stay there with David's family living only an hour away and my family was able to be out there since we knew what day he would be born! We are excited to be home now though, and trying to adjust to our new little guy and hoping he will adjust to getting some sleep at night time!
