Here are the much anticipated photos of JD. I believe most of you already know the
details, but here they are again.
Jay Dean Johnson 9 lbs 1.4
ozs, 20 inches long, 14 inch head and chest. He's got beautiful brown hair. His poor face was pretty bruised from delivery but is
looking much better now. Jessica's water broke around 3:00am she thinks and we were out the door by 4:00am. Mike and Natalie came up and took Holli for us, which was great. The epidural never really worked to start but somehow was pulled out in the process so Jessica did the last 1 1/2 or so all natural. OUCH! For two people who weren't
prepared to deal with that kind of pain (yes on both parties side) we made it. JD was turned sunny side up which caused a lot of the pain but at sometime, he turned back around. JD was pushed out in 5 pushes. Jessica was pushing as the doctor walked in because at that point she didn't care who was there or not, just that that baby was coming now.
We are home now and ready to get back into life.
JD's doing great although slightly yellow. Just watching that closely.
Kj is pretty tired but handling it all pretty good. Jessica feels great, a little sore still, but loving having baby out. Holli is curious about JD but is keeping a distance. When we are not looking she's talking to him or giving him stuffed animals, but won't really look at him when we are around. She's throwing some pretty good fits that we hope go away in a few days or so. She was given her own baby
carseat and baby at the
hospital and has to do whatever we do with JD to her own baby. It's very sweet.
Last few hours of being
prego! On our way to the hospital.
Poor little boys face was pretty bruised. Look at that chest!
Sleeping so sweet. He's dressed and ready to come home.
The first pic of the new family of hour. See, Holli's really not sure what to think.
She wanted to hold him, until he was on her lap. She'll come around.
It's hard on everyone. We all fell asleep in the
hospital room just being together as a family.
At home and happy. Holli actually crawled up all on her own.
