Our precious baby boy has arrived:
Jace Dean Mitchell
March 25, 2009
8lbs 120z
20 1/2 inches
11:42 am
Due to exhaustion and feeding time, here is the quick version:
Jace is finally here and he came on his timing! I was schedule to be induced at 5:30am on Wednesday, but instead my water broke on it's own at 3:30am that morning and we arrived at the hospital at 5am. I am very thankful I was able to go into labor on my own. Overall, everything went pretty well. Labor progressed nicely, I was able to get the epidural ( I am so thankful for modern medicine), I only had to push for 40 minutes (compared to 2 hours with Hayley) and I delivered one healthy little boy! Babies are miracles! We are so happy to have Jace in our family now! He has a head full of brown hair just like Kyrsten, but seems to have many facial features that Hayley had as a baby. So far he eats well like most little boys. The nights and days seemed to be mixed up. We will be working on that. The girls are overly excited to have a little brother and LOVE to hold him. We all do! I have to give a huge THANK YOU to our family. Both sides of our family our helping out so much- thank you-thank you- we love you all! And of course a thanks to our great friends who are already calling, bring by food, and offering help. We appreciate you all.
