A little summary on how the day went: We arrived at Plano Presby at 8am to start the induction. I came in dilated at 3-4cm with lots of swelling in my feet, legs, and hands. We had the most wonderful & attentive labor and delivery nurse, Michelle. She kept a close eye on my blood pressure that was a bit elevated and took such great care of me. Thank goodness for excellent nurses! The morning went by quickly: got my epidural, Dr. Farrow broke my water, & I was fully dilated by 12:15pm. I started pushing at 1:15pm and 22 minutes later our perfect baby boy was here! Whoohoo!!
He had great pink color, very long eyelashes, very blue eyes (that I'm hoping stay that color like his Daddy's eyes). We think in some ways his facial features look like Emma Kate's, but their head shapes are different. Who knows if they'll favor each other or not. So far, he's been a hungry boy and doing lots of snoozing in the hospital. We're praying that continues once we go home. Here are some pics of Jackson on the day he was born. Thanks for all the prayers and well wishes!
