EASTON HAS ARRIVED

Our little Easton Ray was born on April 26th a 9:59 AM. 4 years ago on the same day is when Jace and I met, two years later we got engaged on the same day, and than another two years later our baby boy was born...how perfect! Jace was getting really impatient to get this little guy to come out, he was just so anxious to meet him. I woke up at 3:30 early Monday morning to use the restroom and crawled back into bed. About 10 minutes later my water broke, I said to Jace "Jace I think my water just broke." We both looked at each other and said what do we do, when we both intially responded...call Kristina (our sister in law and pregnancy coach :) We did and she told us we needed to head down to the hospital. We got there at 5, and I got my epiderual right away and after 50 minutes of pushing we welcomed our little Easton Ray into the world. 8.5 pounds 20 inches with a head full of brown hair and some good hands for catching a football!

His jaundice levels were a little high, but the Dr sent us home and told us to have him get tested. We took him in at 4:00 on tuesday and his levels went up a bit and they wanted to see him in the morning. We went back wednesday morning and they had gone up to a 15, so we had to take Easton back to the hospital. This was SO hard on me! I just got my baby boy home and than I had to take him back. Its hard on me he just has to stay under the lights, I can't hold him unless I'm feeding him. So rough on a new mom. At first he didn't like it at all, but now he had become pretty content about the situation and has been starting to eat really well.
All ready to go home :)

As soon as Jace and I found out we were pregnet we both had the feeling it was going to be a boy. So we went and purchased this outfit for him.

Yay! I am so happy for you guys, being a parent is the best thing in the world! Taya had super high jaundice levels too, and we had to rent the 'billi' lights to take home. I feel ya, it was so hard to not hold my baby and just watch her lay in there, then we had to take her to the hospital every day and they had to poke her little feet to test her, so sad! But hopefully it wont last long for the little guy. Congratulations again!
