Jace is here!!

Jace arrived Thursday February 18, 2010 at 10:11am. He was a whopping 8lbs 14 ozs and 21 inches long. He was just perfect in every way! After all the complications with this pregnancy, preterm labor, high blood pressure, etc. he finally made his way here. I had gone to the doctor Wednesday and she told me it probably wouldn't be long but she wasn't comfortable inducing me yet. I was very disappointed. When you get to the end of a pregnancy, you're just ready for them to get here already! That night while laying in bed, I started having contractions about 5 mins apart. My mother and I decided it was time to head to the hospital about 11:00 that night since they weren't going away. When we arrived, naturally my blood pressure was outrageous so Dr. Pennebaker decided to keep me and induce me the following morning. YAY! After 4 hours of Pitocin (that stuff is the devil), a terrible epidural experience, and awful spinal headache it was time to push. After three pushes he arrived. Beautiful baby boy! Just perfect!! We are so in love and can't wait for Bryce to meet him!
