On February 8th at 3:19am Jett Thomas joined our family! We was 6lbs 14oz and 20.5in long.
After working a 10 hour day at the gym I knew that I was not feeling so well and contractions we happening off and on all day. Once I got home that night I was worried that tonight might be the night and I still had to finish making the video of the dance routines for the instructors who were taking over for me. (Nothing like waiting till the last minute!)
Through the contractions Mack video taped me performing the dances so I could hustle and make the video to give to my replacements. All the jumping and dancing definitely brought on contractions and I still was not sure if I should be alarmed. At 12:30am it was "go time".
After a mad dash to the hospital I was 5cm dilated and quickly after the epidural, Jett arrived at 3:19am with no complications.
Luckily the girls were already with my parents and Mack chose to stay in bed and continue sleeping. (He had been through this 2 ot
her times so he was more worried about his beauty sleep.)Since Jett was born so early in the morning we did not call anyone until after 7am that morning.
That was a long wait for me! I could not wait to share the exciting news that Jett was finally here!
Later on that day my family came to visit with the kids. They all held him and Jett survived his first encounter with his siblings. I figured that he has heard them the whole time so he probably felt comfortable with the increased noise level and being bounced around.
The next day a few of my co-workers/friends came to visit as well as Bill's parents and my parents too! Even though I was exhausted it was wonderful to feel the love of my family and close friends as they held Jett and spent time with me.
