Hi Ladies, just wanted to let you all know that Jonathan Eston has arrived...he was born on Wednesday, January 23rd at 8:13 am...He weighed 7 lbs 10 oz and was 20 inches long!
Though we anticipated that he'd arrive on the 23rd, we did not expect to go into labor on our own in doing so...but as it turned out I had not been feeling the best earlier that evening and was having a few contractions when we took the kids over to my dh's aunts for the night (she was helping us out since my mil was still out of town helping mom_n_luv). When we got back home the contractions were about 6 mintues apart but we'd had so many of them that quit after going to bed that we just headed to bed and didn't think too much about it. At about 2:00 a.m. I woke up after having dreamt I was having contractions that really hurt to realize I wasn't dreaming...after timing them for about 30 minutes I woke DH up and told him they were coming at about 3 minutes apart and I couldn't get back to sleep because they were getting stronger...so we called the hospital and they said...come on in...
We arrived at the hospital at about 3:15 am and they started hooking me up to ivs and monitors to try to evaluate if we needed to call in the surgical team or if we could wait until the scheduled time...it ended up that we could wait until the scheduled time...though I had quite a few contractions to bear through until then...
I have tried to post a picture here...if it doesn't work and you'd like to seem him...you can go to our blog at www.mmfarmlife.blogspot.com and read the above story with some pics of the kids too...
