JAXTON ENGLAND COPE

Jax was born May 13! 8 lb 1 oz

We are so glad that he is here! it is amazing how much we love this new baby after seeing him for the first time. Labor was long and hard-I guess that is why it is called LABOR! I was scheduled to be induced Tuesday night so Gordon and me went into the hospital at 10:30 p.m. I was put on IV and I got a contraction and heart rate monitor. Contractions started right away and by 4 am I was put on Pitocin to help the process going. My doctor broke my water about 7 am then the contractions stated hurting really bad! I got an epidural about 11 am. Epidurals are so wonderful- one of God's gifts to mankind. I progressed slowly and was ready to start pushing by 6 pm. After 3 hours of pushing I was so tired! Jax's head was going the wrong way so he got stuck. The doctor tried using a baby vacuum on his head to help push him out. But it did not work. We decided that we had to do a c-section. It was late Wednesday night when I went into surgery and out came with our cute new baby boy! He cried a lot that first night but has been very happy ever since then, We love him so much and think he is the most handsome baby in the whole wide world!

Wow!!!!! I am still pregnant. I am worried that this little boy will come out walking and talking. I am 5 days over and going into the hospital tonight. I will be induced tonight in hopes of having this baby tomorrow morning or afternoon. Wish we luck!

398 WEEKS

I am so excited to have this baby!! I am 38 weeks and feeling tired, sore and cranky! This little boy was breech and the doctor was worried that I would have to delivere c-section. So we scheduled an external version where the dr puts jelly all over your belly and pushing the baby head down from the outside. I guess it hurts really bad!!! Well the morning of the procedure Gordon and I went to the hospital and got all ready for the dr. Then right before we started i had an unltra sound and he was already head down on his own!!!!! (I think the blessing I got the right before from Gordon helped) So now I just have to wait- I hate that sometimes!
