Whit decided he wanted to come early! I was scheduled to have a c-section on Friday the 28th but Monday evening about 7:30 my water broke. I called the dr. and they told us to come to the hospital to get checked out. We called David's brother to come over and watch Jax while we went to the hospital. We were both sure that itwas possibly a false alarm and that we would come back home. (And you say how could it be a false alarm?? I don't know, we just thought it might be :0) We called David's brother to come stay with Jax, jumped in the car (without any bags packed of course) and headed to the hospital. The nurse checked to see if my water had actually broken and it had. Then they said, "when did you eat last?" Well I had eaten at 6:30 of course so they informed us they had to wait 6 hours until they could do the csection. The waiting was the worst. I started having contractions and they gave me something to stop them. That was very helpful! So at about 2 am they came into get me for my csection. David was so great and encouraging through everything!
Whit was born at 2:40 am on Tuesday. He weighed 7lbs 11oz and was 21 inches long. He has dark brown hair and blue eyes. I'm really hoping he keeps his blue eyes! We can't figure out who he looks like yet. :0)
Here are some pictures from the hospital. Luckily our friend Brian got some good shots!
So far Jax has been a good big brother. He definitely knows things are different around here. I think so far the hardest part of having a newborn again has been knowing how to teach Jax through "the 2's" and also making sure he gets the attention he needs through this huge change in our family. I guess we will all learn together.
