HE'S HERE!!!!

Jackson Wendell Siddoway
Born: 10-20-10 at 7:32pm
Weight: 5lbs 2oz
Length: 19 inchesThis is the belly the day before he was born.
Here's how it all happened......
On Wednesday Oct 20th I had 2 Dr appointments, first with my OB- everything was fine, I was 3cm dilated. Later went to see the perinatologist for an ultrasound to check baby's growth and fluid. My fluid was low measured at 5, so the Dr said "its time to get this baby out". Bob and I walked down to labor and delivery for the induction, they were soooo busy and had no rooms open, so I was put in the recovery room for a short period while they started my IV and asked questions. Then I was moved to my delivery room, and the Dr came in and wanted to break my water. I was nervous cause I didn't have my epidural yet, he said it wouldn't hurt too bad. haha LIE... anyways that was around 2:30pm. around 6pm they checked me and I was 5-6cm, then at 7pm checked again and I fully dilated!! Dr went to change they got everything set up, Dr came back, I pushed once and Jackson was born. Much different experience than with Macy (I pushed for an hour), with Macy I went into labor on my own and with Jackson I was induced. Being induced was much nicer, I was able to get my epidural when I wanted and it was more controlled. Jackson was born the exact same gestation as Macy- 36.3 weeks. He was having some respiratory distress (grunting and nasal flaring) and because he was a little early had to go to the NICU for about 21 hours, then was able to come to my room and go home when I did. He lost some weight and got down to 4lbs 11oz. and had a hard time staying warm, so he is always swaddled with a hat on. He was up to 5lbs 4oz at a week and a half old, so starting to get big.
Macy was a little wild at first and not quite sure she liked Jackson, but now she loves him, she loves to hug and kiss him... A LOT!
