Early Arrival

There is something about our genes that triggers our babies to be born early. Jaxson Liam was definitely trying to outdo his sister and decided, instead of two weeks early like Madelynne was, to be 4 weeks early. I went into labor on Saturday, April 9, and was progressing, even after they tried rehydrating me and trying to stop labor. The scheduled c-section ended up being bright and early at 5am on Sunday April 10, and our little man arrived without issue. He weighed 8 lbs, 1 oz, and was 21 inches in length.

He had a huge umbilical cord---really thick.

Getting his weight

He had to be monitored for both his blood sugar levels & oxygen in the nursery before he was able to spend time with mom in the room.

Here are some pics of the first 48 and some pics we've taken since we've been home. He's a great little baby, so far. Madelynne is beyond excited as his big sister. She loves to hold him whenever she gets the chance. Adjusting to two is becoming easier day by day.
