A quick update…. Plus countdown Tuesday- but less than a week I get to see him.

For those of you that don’t know I AM A MOTHER NOW! I gave birth to Jackson Richard March 27^th. He was 8 pounds 1 ounce.  There is a lot to this story alone which I can’t go into right now as I don’t have the time.  So stay tuned.

Easter outfit! 

Jackson has been a great boy. Doesn’t cry much and is very healthy. I am also doing good- especially as I am looking forward to going to see Gary. AND SURPRISE HIM! I can’t stop thinking about it and every night I count down until I get to see him, I imagine what to wear, do and how it will be like for Gary to see his little guy for the very first time. I can’t stop talking about it when people come to visit.

Once again I feel very blessed and grateful that everything has been working out the way it has. God has sure blessed us and I want to exclaim it.

I had to be the one to make the decision about getting induced last Tuesday night. My doctor said that I wasn’t at a favorable cervix but she would do it if I wanted. She let me take some time and as I thought tears rolled. When she came back in she asked what I was feeling –sheepishly crying I said that I feel like I am going between my desires and what’s best for the baby. She reassured me that getting induced wasn’t going to hurt the baby and to take all the motherly instincts out of it. It merely brought up the chances of a c-section to 10% chance or a little more.  So once I really thought about it the chance of getting to see Gary was worth the chance and pain of getting a c-section in the end. I know I was risking a lot because I really did NOT want a c-section but I miss Gary so much and want to see him, and have Gary see Jackson that I couldn’t not take that chance.

Everything went well. My doctor was surprised at how well in fact. I am doing good and I get to see Gary Thursday! I’m surprising him. Which I will also get to another time.

Time to feed the external parasite now…. Owie! Wish me luck J
