Jayden has arrived

On February 5th 2010, at 8:04pm Jayden James Thomson arrived! His daddy, and his two big sisters, Mickel, and Madison were in the delivery room to welcome him into the family! He weighed 8 pounds 3 ounces, and was 19 1/2 inches long!

I got to the hospital at 10 am that morning. Shane arrived at 11. The nurse started me on Pitocin and so the contractions began. By 3, they were starting to get the better of me, so we asked for the Anesthesiologist with the very helpful Epidural!! Dilation was slow going at first. But once I hit a 5, it only took an hour to get to a 10! It took about 20 minutes of pushing and there was Jayden!
We had a few visitors to help welcome him. His Grandpa Dave, his Grandma Karil and Aunt Karen, and Granny and Papa were there too! Aunt Cecilee and Uncle Jason and his cousins Mason and Dashia and Ella came to see him too!
We were in the hospital for two days. We should have gone home after the first! But it was nice to rest a little.
Jayden and I have been having fun just hanging out and getting to know each other. I can't believe how fast two weeks have gone already. It makes me sad to think that in a month I have to go back to work and leave him.
Shane is having fun with his little boy! They sit on the couch and talk to each other when Shane gets home from work. Its cute to watch! Mickel comes over a couple times a week and gets to see him. Maddy will send a text to see how her little brother is doing! They are excited to have him here.
Granny and Papa went to Texas a week ago, so we keep them updated with pictures and text messages. He will be blessed once they get back. They were worried they might miss it! But I told them that Papa would be the one blessing him, so we would wait until they got back! It should be warmer by the time they get back so he will be able to meet more of his family. And we will start having BBQ's so that will be fun!
