He's Here!!!

After what seems a long time waiting Jackson Wesley Morris has finally made his entrance to the world. Here is a run down of the events this week.

On Monday morning at about 4 am I started having some pretty intense contractions but not knowing if they were real or not I called the nurses hotline and since I have a doc appt at 9:30 that morning they told me to wait it out until I could see my doctor.

at the appointment my doc said I was 2.5-3cm dialated but had not started really labor yet and it could happen today or a couple days from now. so Adam and I went back home got some lunch and then stuff started to happen. contractions started happening rapidly and Adam made the executive decision to head back to the hospital. by noon i was admitted, 6cm dialated and requesting an epidural, stat. natural birth be damned!!by the time the epidural kicked in around 4pm we were just waiting for my water to break, which it never did. after some assistance from the doc and about 30-45 mins of pushing Jackson was born at 8:45pm Dec 8th 2008. (one month to the day before my birthday which is kind of cool.) here are his stats

waiting...

well we are in the last weeks of being pregnant and overall it has been pretty good. I have only felt really pregnant the past couple weeks. I have got a good waddle going on and I cant reach my feet but that makes a great excuse to go get a pedicure which I did last week. Fantastic!

Jackson's due date is on Friday and we are basically just sitting around waiting for things to get started. both Adam and I think he is going to come tomorrow (Sunday) but that may just be wishful thinking. But as of my last doctors appointment on Wednesday I was 2cm dilated and 90% effaced so something is going on and I did not even feel it! I am really excited to meet this little person who has been trying to bust out through my belly button for the last couple months. we have spent so much time talking about him and preparing for his arrival and we dont even know him yet. it is going to be an experience actually begin able to hold and snuggle him. and of course pinch those little chubby cheeks we already know he has.

Well next update we should have some pics of our little boy!!! Wish us luck!!
