Welcome Baby Jake!

April 7, 2015 started with us being an excited family of five!
Jason and I arrived at the hospital a little after 7am. By about 8:30am they started me on pitocin and we started the countdown!
The contractions didn't do much until around 10am when my doctor came and broke my water. By 10:45am I thought about about asking for an epidural and at 11am I did. Finally at 11:30pm the anesthesiologist came. Unfortunatly, but then I was in way more pain than I wanted to be and even more unfortunatly it didn't work very well. It took the edge off the pain, and the pain was for a shorter amount of time, but it wasn't what I was hoping for. It finally took away most of the pain by 12:30. At 12:45 a nurse checked me and told me not to laugh or the baby would come out and she went to get my doctor. I pushed through two contractions, about three pushes total, and Jacob James Eldredge was born!
He was 7 pounds 2 ounces, 20 inches long and born at 12:57. He was perfect.



We're totally in love!

I have to agree with Emily, he does look like Logan in that last close up. I think his mom looks pretty happy to have him here (and adorable herself!).
