Welcome to the World Jackson!

This will be the home for all of Jackson's news and updates. I will post pictures here and things going on. To respect all my facebook friends, I will not be posted daily Jackson updates there.

So, let's begin....Introducing Jackson Eugene Tyler. Born 4/29/2011 at 8:17 am. Weighed in at 7 lbs 15 oz and 21 inches long.

Here is the labor story:

We had a schedule inducement for Thursday, 28th. St. John's called about 1:30 and told us to head on in.

At 4:30 they gave her a cytotec, which is a pill that thins the uterus. The concept of cytotec is to have a pill once every 4 hours for up to 16 hours, then actually start the inducement.

Luckily for us, her water broke around 8:30 and then heavy contractions start. We had a rough hour until the epidoral was put in, and then everything was perfect. We got a little bit of sleep that night, and around 7:00 it was time to push.

Emily did a great job, pushed for an hour, and Jackson was not moving past her pelvic bone, so the doctor got the suction cup and sucked him on out.

The whole labor experience was a great one. We had not know what to expect, the pain that Emily we endure, etc. St. John's staff was wonderful and made the whole experience perfect. I will say, The epidoral was one the best things ever invented. It made the labor experience almost fun. I could not imagine having Emily have those contractions for 12 hours. We had an hour and it sucked.

This is our first night home and so far Jackson is doing great. He is really quiet, only fussing when he is hungry, and then just goes back to sleep. We couldn't have asked for a better baby. We will see how the week progresses though.

But no matter how bad he gets, we have to remind ourselves to focus on the positives and how blessed we are to have a healthy good looking baby.

Before he was born, I was hoping not to have an ugly baby and blonde hair. For some reason I think Blonde Hair babies are super cute. And he has blonde hair...for now... and we think is the most handsome baby ever...just a little biased though.

We have our first doctor appointment Monday at 1:00, as just a check up. I will go back to work on Wed, and split Wed, Thursday and Friday with Mom, so Emily has help.

So, keep checking in for pictures, I will be posting them.

Thanks for all the love and support!
