We showed them didn't we Jack?
As I said in my last post I was going to tell the hospital that Jack wanted to be born on May 20th regardless of what they say. My last post was written on May 20th at about 7:45 p.m. While writing the post I did feel some stronger contractions but since I had been contracting all day I really just ignored it. Until I published my post and started walking around. They immediately started coming 3 minutes apart and I had to breath through them. Brian was putting Emmi down to sleep, but I barged into the room and said we need to go to the hospital fast. I called Eric and Kelley to take Emmi and in no less than 5 minutes we were out the door. Emmi couldn't have been more thrilled. Off for a sleep over with her cousins.

Driving to the hospital was the longest drive possible. The contractions were coming so fast. I was a contortionist in the passenger seat while gripping Brian's thigh everytime a contraction hit. Brian dropped me off in the round about and I ran or should I say danced into labor and delivery. As soon as I told them I was in labor the tears started to flow. I think it was more my nerves than pain. You wait so long for this day to hold a healthy baby and you just pray that those prayers will be answered.
I got settled into the room. The nurse checked me and I was dilated to a 6 and by then I begged for the epidural. I am a totally wussy. The contractions were coming so fast I had no time to rest in between.
They started my antibiotic and literally 2 hours later Jack wasn't going to wait for another dose. The doctor was paged and literally when he arrived Jack was here in 3 minutes. I wasn't able to hold him for awhile because when they broke my water it was meconium stained and so the NICU team took him right from the doctor. He did well and all his vital signs were perfect. He even had a knot in his cord. He was a little boy scout when he was just small to tie that knot. That's my boy Jack!
Ok....so I will stop talking.....here is our mystery boy Jack Jones. He doesn't look like Emmi, me, or Brian. He is a complete toe head with blue eyes. CRAZY!!! We will just sit and wait till he morphs into someone. Well, I think he looks like my brothers and my dad, or just an old man!
