We-odd-a-Baby, Eats-a-Boy!!

So We-odd-a-Baby, Eats-a-Boy!! (we had a baby, it's a boy) for those of you who remember the old commercial.

It's a Baby!

(and a mom)

Born: Jared Allen Eugene Weeks named after dad and both grandpa's, noone has bragging rights. we got them all in one.

Gave Birth: Julianna Marie Casemira Weeks

Date: February 18, 2009

Weight: Baby's: 8lbs 12oz Mom's: Let's see: She's eating 500 extra calories a day for breastfeeding, plus half a pund of chocolate to stay awake, Plus all the fantastic food that people have been bringing over. You do the math.

Eyes: Baby's: Blue Mom's: BloodShot

Hair: Baby's: Brown Mom's: Unwashed and Unbrushed since last Tuesday.

Length: Practically forever- at least 13 hours of labor, not to mention 'induced labor', so 6 hours of labor with patosin, 1 hour of labor after the water was broken, (then gave into the epidural). It lastedfor 2.5 hours, than started to wear off. so 3 hours of full blown labor. And as I'm told that i'm a big 9 almost 10 cm dialated (10 is fully dialated), I'm also told that the kid hadn't dropped into the birth canal any further than when I was at 6 cm. The nurse than asks how I feel about a c-section. (so much for as natural as possible). So 10 hours of full labor, 3 hours of epidural labor, and now I'm being wheeled into the OR for a C-section. They put something in the epidural that is suppose to make me numb, but it doesn't work. so they have to sit me up and remove the epidural and put in the spinal, all on the OR table. So the beautiful spinal kicks in. I shake through the entire operation. Dad (Mark) barely makes it into the OR to see Baby Jared's 2nd shoulder come out. Tuns out my hips and pelvis are too flat and small to do natural child birth. So when the doctor opened me up he didn't have to pull Jared's head outta my pelvis, he justhad to lift Jared out. So we were in the Hospital till Sunday afternoon. Oh, and Jared was 21 inches long.

Sex: Never again. but then again, he is adorable!!

Update on Delivery

So my doctor is out this week, due to his wife having surgery. So our apointment this week was with a different doctor, we went in and asked a few questions as well as asked for a dilation check, and if we could get a ruff estimate on how big the baby is. well the statistics are in.

Cervix dialation is dilated to a three (3).

Baby's estimated weight 8lbs 12oz (considering mark was 9lbs 4oz, and I was 8lbs 10oz).

So the doctor asked how the contractions were going and I said off and on, nothing solid. So the Doctor called the hospital and schedualed us for an induction (or at least the hormone to get things going), for tomorrow at 3 pm, we check in. So unless we go into labor tonight, than you will be updated at the end of the weekish. lol.

Waiting...&...Waiting....&...Waiting

So it's due time anytime now, Feb. 18 is 4 days away. also My parents are down here on stand by so that my husband can work in a little peace. They have a goat that is pregnant and she is suppose to be due anytime now also, we've come to the conclusion that either there is a hold up in the line up in heaven, or (my dad's theory)-that our son is playing with the baby goats, up in heaven; which is distracting them both. So that's why neither one of us(me & the goat) has had our baby yet. lol. I've been walking like crazy. i've walked more city blocks in the last few weeks than I think I've walked my entire life. lol.
