(Originally written the week Jordan was born)
My third little miracle is here!!!
Jordan Timothy Jackson was born Friday, June 1st at 11:08 pm!
He is my biggest baby.
8 lbs 9 oz
20.5 inches
He looks just like his brothers did!!!
(Only Chubbier!)
**Warning: Birth Story to follow….
We had scheduled the c-section for Monday, June 4th at 8am.
I never thought that I would make it to 39 weeks of pregnancy!
I was pretty much OVER being pregnant!
VERY over it!
Feet were swollen, belly was HUGE, baby feet were in my ribs….
You get the picture…
On Tuesday, I was barely dilated to 2 cm.
I was having lots of contractions, but not enough.
On Friday, I started having contractions 10 minutes a part consistently, but these were different. They were super intense! I could barely talk and breath when they happened. Finally, around 7 pm, Jon told me we were going to Labor and Delivery. I didn’t want to go and be sent home…. Hate that!
We got to the hospital, I was still having the intense contractions every ten minutes. Got hooked up to the monitors and waited to be checked. While waiting, I tried very hard not to get my hopes up….
The doctor checked me and I was SIX CM dilated!!!! I think I shouted the number back to her in disbelief!!!!!!!
We were admitted.
Doctor on call was notified.
I.V. was started.
And I was wheeled back to O.R.
Just after 11 pm. the sweetest little cry was heard and Jordan Timothy was here!
Honestly, I was slightly in disbelief, since I fully expected to be sent home!!! HA!
He is my third blessing. I can’t tell you how my heart expanded with love for this little guy!
(You other moms out there know what I am talking about..)
I wish you could all meet this little guy!
He is a little snuggler and loves to sleep on my chest.
His big brothers LOVE him!
But….hold on to your pacifiers….
This is all going to go by too fast….
