Jackson is here!




Yes we had the baby. On Nov. 15th we went in to have a non-stress test and they decided to keep me to induce me. Everything went well- I was in labor about 8 hours and was able to have a VBAC which I really wanted.

Jackson William Meyer was born at 7:44pm, weighed 6lbs 3oz and is 19.5inches long. He has dropped weight (which is normal) and it back up to 5lbs 15oz, so he is really little and of course is swimming in his 0-3mo clothes! He looks just like Peyton when she was a baby except less hair. He's a very sweet baby and really only cries when getting his diaper changed or really hungry. We've of course have had a few rough nights, but are getting a bit more sleep now. We had to stay in the hospital a little longer (came home Monday) as we've had to treat him for jaundice so he's had to be strapped to a bili-blanket for two days in hospital and at home(we didn't know they made them--but its pretty cool) ...we'll have his follow up Monday again. In the next few days I'll update with the story of his birth/more pictures. For now we are loving having a new baby, enjoying every change that comes with a new baby, lack of sleep and all! Peyton loves her brother which is good and wants to be a bit too motherly :-)

CONGRATS!! I'm so happy for you guys, it makes me really anxious now for our little one to come. You'll have to tell me all about your labor and how it went the 2nd time around, I'm getting nervous!
