About 3 o'clock, everything was going well but the epidural was not quite totally working-- one leg was completely numb and the other not quite enough. After a quick visit from the miracle worker, I mean anesthesiologist, the nurse said we should do a quick check and then called everyone into the room because Jackson was on his way. After just a few pushes, he came out perfect and covered in vernix.
After a quick cleanup and taking some vital measurements, Jackson got to spend some quality time with mom:
He kept looking like he was hungry, so we gave him some formula right after that:
He's proven to be a very good eater, often wanting more than the 1 oz he's supposed to get every feeding. This eating has also led him to have several very healthy diapers, meaning he will most likely avoid the jaundice that we had to deal with when Andie was born (yay! No time under the lights!)
Thanks to everyone who's been so supportive. We're very happy and we'll post more as things progress. Coming next: Andie meets Jackson and up close with him! It may be that i'll get the videos up on youtube before I can blog them, so feel free to visit http://youtube.com/user/whillice for more updates.
