It was worth the wait. Jackson Robert Weir was born on Sunday the 25Th @ 12:28 am. Weighing in at 8lbs. 7oz and 21 1/2 inches long. Well now I guess I get to re-cap my fun labor story. So, here we go.Saturday I woke up to some mild contractions. We started timing them and they were about 5 mins. apart. So about 1p.m. we headed to the hospital. Only to find out that I was still only at 2cm and 80%. The doctor told me that the contractions needed to get a lot stronger. GREAT! So back home we went and waited. And the contractions got a lot stronger. (this is what the doc. was talking about.) At 6:30p.m. we left to go back to the hospital. And thank goodness I was at a 4. I told the doctor (the same one who sent us home) now I know what you ment when you told me the contractions needed to be stronger. All I have to say is epidural PLEASE! Now things moved a lot faster:
7:30 p.m. all checked in to labor and delivery room.
8:30 p.m. getting my epidural :)
9:30 p.m. dilated at 7cm
11:30 p.m. now at a 10 and ready to push...and that I did. Our baby boy was born at 12:28 a.m.
Already trying to be a tough guy.
Look at those feet. When they were getting his footprint his toes went off the ink pad.

This is our "Celebratory Meal." It was very nice.

Jackson had jaundice in the hospital. We had to stay an extra day. He had to have this light blanket on him 24/7. I called him my little glow worm (his first Halloween costume.)But, he is fine now.
Lilly meeting her baby brother for the first time. Due to the lovely swine flu they don't allow any kids under the age of 14 in the hospital to visit. Lilly was so excited. She waited a long time to meet him.
We are so blessed to have Jackson join our family. Thank you everyone for all your help. Now let the fun begin.
