Few minutes after his arrival
mohawk!First of all, shout out to Jones' sweet daddy. I didn't even know he knew how to log in to blog. Imagine my surprise (and tears) when I saw his postings. Jones and I are lucky to have him.
Jones is more than we could have ever imagined. I can't begin describe this feeling, so I won't even try. I will just say Trey and I feel so blessed and humbled and totally in love with this new little person! He is just perfect.
Due to Jones' unstable heartbeat and drop in fluids, we decided to induce Friday morning to induce that night. After 7 hours of being induced with little change in me and only adding stress to sweet Jones' heart, the doc. decided at 8:30 to stop the pitocin and let the two of us rest until 5 am. It was touch and go there for a while, having started to get c-section equipment necessary, so I was more than happy to give little Jones a break.
We started back up Sat. morning right at 5 am. The doctor decided that even though I was not far along, he needed to break my water to expedite the process for Jones' sake. But it had to be fast or it was c-section time. The Lord heard our prayers and answered them in a fast way!
Water was broken at 7 am, epidural at 9 am (3 cm), Jones was born at 10:33 am! And Jones was perfect. What a blessing straight from God.
We are at home now and loving every minute of it. Trey is playing the guitar and my mama is singing as Jones eats away. Sweetest thing. My mama is here for the week, so I plan on taking advantage of sleeping while he sleeps, which he just started, so I am off to bed for an hour or so!
Thank you all so much for your prayers and well wishes. Our nine month amazing journey is over and now the real adventure is beginning. What an amazing, overwhelming, and humbling gift from our God. He is so good.
