Jude Collin Johnson is here! He was born on January 19th at 7:30 pm. He weighed a whopping 8 lbs 11 oz and measured 19 inches long.
I went in for my weekly checkup and the doctor told me that I was dilated 6 cm and 90% effaced. He said if I didn't go in today I wouldn't have time to get an epidural or the antibiotics I needed. So, happily I agreed! He stripped my membranes, we went across the street to Jordan Valley Hospital, filled out some paperwork and I was in labor. It was pretty fast and I asked for an epidural pretty fast.
When Jude came out after an hour of pushing, they put him on my chest where I immediately began vomiting. I knew it was coming the whole time I was pushing but it decided to make it's appearance at the same time as Jude.
Jude had to spend the night in the well baby nursery because he had some fluid in his lungs.
This is the first time I got to hold him. Bennett got to spend the first hour of Jude's life with him. I was so shaky that I couldn't quite hold him yet.
This is the first time Eva got to meet Jude. She wasn't so interested in him. She calls him, "Your baby," as in, "Mom, your baby is crying."
Jude brought Eva an empty soap bottle (which is what she wanted for her kitchen) and a bunch of dishes.
