He's Here!

I went into labor on March 31, 2010 after my doctors appointment, and decided to drive to the hospital at 1:30am. We got in and was having really good contractions. I was dilated to a 4 when i got there. I waited to get my epidural until i was dilated to a 7. Then the doc had to come break my water, within 30 minutes from then i was ready to push! And there arrived...

Houston Lee Jarvis gave us a little scare the day after i had him. I was getting ready to nurse him and he starting spitting up blood, totally freaked me out! The nurse took him to the nursery and they started an exam on him. They later brought him back to me after some tests, and they said he must have swallowed my blood from delivery. The wanted to take his blood cell count test to make sure he wasn't losing blood. They kept repeating the test because it was fluctuating, they kept us int eh hospital for 4 days. The discharged me on saturday and let Houston come home monday. Monday they told me that the reason his blood tests were fluctuating was because when they were testing him to find out where that blood was coming from theyw too much blood which made his results go down. Then the tests kept fluctuating because of them making blood draws too often. So basically they put him into Anemia. Poor little guy! But everything is ok and we are all doing good! Yay! We are so happy he is here!
