Jack has finally arrived. He was born at 5:22pm on August 1, 2010. He weighed 7lbs. 12ozs. and was 20 1/4 inches long. He is everything I dreamed about perfect in my eyes. I was entering my 41st week of pregnancy and was getting a little impatient. I started having back labor on Friday at work. I left early came home and rested and the contractions subsided. On Saturday I hadn't had any contractions so my mom, sister, Ashley Bell and I took a quick trip to Waco that afternoon. At about 11:45 I started having contractions about every 7-8 minutes. Not believeing I was actually in labor we didn't make our trip to the hospital till about 3:00 Sunday morning. I got to the hospital and was admitted. We waited till 8:00 to call our family. Since, he was face up I struggled to progress and with my small frame he would not have fit through the canal. I was dilated at a 6 from 8 till about 4:45 when we decided to go back for a c-section. I know many people don't believe in having cesarean births but when the time comes you will do whatever it takes to protect your child. It was such a relief when they held Jack up for me to see. It was the greatest moment to see his perfect face. Matthew was such a great supporter helping me through my contractions and holding the tray while I threw up. I could not have had a better partner through this pregnancy. I can't believe it has already been a week.
