Jackson Nicola is here!

Hey All- after all my whining and groaning about being pregnant, little Jackson is finally here...exactly on his due date.

Go figure!

Simple explanation: Jack was born by c-section on October 17th at 8:39pm weighing in at a whopping 7lbs 6oz (almost 2lbs heavier than Siena was!) and measuring 19 and 3/4 inches (2 inches longer than Siena).

Extended explanation: Jack came by c-section after I labored since 2:30am, went into the hospital at 9am, got my epidural (I love you anesthesia man!!!!) at 11am and had progressed to 5cm, pitocin started at 2pm to make contractions better, water broken...no progression. Being that Siena was a c-section as well the docs didn't want to take any chances by waiting even longer for me to dilate...so off to surgery we went at 8-ish pm.

Here is a slideshow of pics so far. Remember you can double click if you want to see the pics larger (in a non-slideshow format).



Happy 1 day birthday baby boy. We love you!!!
