Jeter Davis Johnson 10-19-2010

Our baby boy is Here! Jeter Davis Johnson born Tuesday, October 19, 2010 at 10:07 AM 7 lbs. 5 oz. 20 Inch. And SUPER CUTE!

How it all happened:

So I poster earlier about being induced-well scratch that plan :) Monday night I started having those contractions again by 10:30 pm they were about 5-6 minutes apart but I kept saying to myself-I'm being induced-this is happening. I think I was scared deep down because I knew. Well I have these contractions and at about midnight Kameron and I are thinking we might have to just go, but I'm still just sticking it out. about 12:30 am I have this really hard contraction and my water breaks! Strangest sensation ever! So Kameron jumps out of bed and I go into change and my mucus plug falls out (TMI but that is how this whole experience goes...) we get to the hospital about 1:00am and get checked in. I was dilated to 4cm and get to 8cm by 3:30 am-ish. My mom, Brianna and Janel and little Killian get there and things start to slow down. We waited till about 6ish till I get to 9cm. My dad gets there and we just kinda wait. There are so many physical, emotional, and mental details this could go one Forever. I start to feel ready. Not a lot of pressure but just ready. By about 9am I am at 10 cm and ready to go! I was actually terrified to push. I was just so nervous! but they start me pushing and they say I have a lip and my pubic bone was in the way so I eneded pushing on my side the rest of the time. I got a window of pain-the epidural just stopped working there--it actually was in the same spot as my mom had with me. So I push for about an hour and finally this little dark haired baby is born and I have the most relief rush through me! It was insane! Crying and hugging and just this amazment of what just happened.

I think the main thing through all of this is you have to know things are not going to happen the way you think. Pretty much everyone stayed in there with me through everything! Not what I had planned but I wouldn't want it any other way.

So here are pictures of our adorable little boy and the crazy day of October 19th!

We took this right as we got settled in. No machines or epidurals yet

Janel and nurse Nikki. She was awesome! I couldn't have asked for a better delivery nurse. She had some humor that was a nice change from the high emotions going on. She was just awesome.

And Janel was an awesome birth coach too! I seriously Never could have done this without my amazing family. I don't have a picture of Bri, but she was so supportive, rubbing my feet and getting me to my happy place...chocolate cake :)

All ready to go home! The nurses were awesome. I did't especially like staying in the hospital, but it was a good place to get so much helpful information and make sure me and Jeter were healthy.

Now we are getting to know this handsome little boy and learn how to be good parents. With the help of my mom for the next two weeks. I could never do this without her! The first night at home went fairly well. Who needs sleep right?
