Hello
everyone!!!!!
Our
beautiful Jack Francis has arrived!!!!! Jack came into the world on July 6,
2014 at 12:27 am. Jack weighed 8 pounds 15 ounces and was 22 ½ inches long! My
labor nurse said it was the longest baby she had seen in some time.
It
was amazing how quickly he came once he made the decision that he wanted to be
here! We spent Saturday, July 5, taking Tilly to the park and running errands.
We knew that we would be induced the night of July 6 if Jack hadn’t arrived
earlier so we thought it would be a good idea to do some last minute errands. While
we were walking around Target I started to feel a little funny and when we go
home I had started showing signs of early labor. We called my doctor and he
agreed that I was in labor and we should head to the hospital.
We
arrived at triage around 7pm, checked in and was in my labor and delivery room
by 830. By 10 my water was broken and by 1045 I was feeling the contractions
about 3 minutes apart and asked to get my epidural. They had not even gotten my
epidural when I kept saying that I needed to push. The nurse said that only 1%
of women need to push that quickly however she checked me and said she couldn’t
believe it, I needed to start pushing. The nurse paged the doctor and called
Shannon back into the room (they don’t allow husbands in the room while you get
your epidural). The epidural wouldn’t even take effect by the time I started
pushing! Shannon had no idea what was going on because when he stepped out of
the room only a few minutes before, they assured him we had plenty of time!
Well, Jack had a different story in mind. I pushed for an hour and then our
beautiful and perfect son came into the world!
Our
time at the hospital was wonderful! We had the greatest nurses and our view of
the lake was amazing! We could not have asked for a better experience. From how
I went into labor, to how quickly Jack came to us, to the lovely stay, we were
truly blessed by the experience. The details truly make no difference, we have
Jack Francis Crawford! 10 fingers, 10 toes and loved like no little boy has
been loved before.
We
have had a great few weeks of transitioning from a family of 3 to a family of
4! Tilly has been loving her little brother … we love watching our 2 babies
interact! We have even been toying with the idea of making a purely picture
blog … The Adventures Of Jack & Tilly! We shall see!
Now,
we look onward to the next big adventure … MOVING! We are figuring out the
details but we will be with mom and dad for part of the time and will be
looking for a place ASAP! We will keep everyone posted! It will all work out,
as life always seems to! Jack is here, healthy and happy … everything else we
will deal with!
All
Our Love,
Katie,
Shannon, Jack & Tilly
