Zachary Jack...born April 5 2008 at 1:04 in the morning. He weighed 7 lbs 5 oz. and measured 20 inches long. He was a little early me being 38 weeks (I was so happy for that), my water broke late Friday night just before going to bed, and within just a short time my contractions were just minutes apart and a lot stronger than I wanted them to be. When we got to the hospital they had my C-section scheduled for 12:45 a.m. I had to wait over an hour for the anesthesiologist to arrive to do my spinal. I declare that anyone scheduled for a c-section shouldn't have to experience labor! I was so happy to see the anesthesiologist walk in my room. After walking into the OR and me getting my spinal, within just a few minutes they started my c-section. They offered me a mirror so I could watch, I thought it was pretty neat to watch. Some of it I had to turn away, but it was the most amazing thing to actually get to watch them pull Zach out of my belly. He was really stuck in there, they had to use the vacuum to help get him out. Finally they had his little head sticking out of my belly. He had the cutest little face, and then I got to see the rest of him. What a relief to hear his little cry and then to know that he was healthy and finally here!
It has been 4 weeks since he arrived. It is so much fun to have a new baby to cuddle and love. Kayli and Tyler are just thrilled to have him here. They love him so much and always want to be by his side, talking to him, holding him and kissing him. Kayli is like a little mommy to him. She loves to hold him and is my little helper.
