Is not she the the most beautiful newborn!!

She's finally here!!!

I started having contractions while Mom, Jax and I were at Boone Hall about 3:30 PM on the 11th. I was waiting for a pain through my front abdomen to my back...well I probably was having contractions for about 1hr before I realized exactly what they were. Jax's contractions were different. We went straight from the plantation to pick up Aaron from work, the whole drive timing my contractions to make sure I was consistent. We picked Aaron up, went home to grab our stuff, dropped Jax off at the Coxsons and went to the hospital.

By the time I finally got settled and they checked me I was dilated to a 5 and soon after that I started getting sick...and that continued all through the night. They tried giving me two different anti-nausia medicines but neither one worked. I got my epidural  when I was dilated to a 7 and they broke my water. I was able to sleep for about 1/2 hour, during which I think someone bumped up my epidural meds because when I woke I couldn't move or feel my legs....which I hate!! When I had dilated to an 8 they put me on petocin. Then I started to shake like I was going crazy. By then it was time to push, after 1 1/2 contractions Jordyn was here!

 My boys were so tired!

 He was a little weary of Jordyn at first

 Jax has always wanted to help with everything, and it has not been different with Jordyn. He wanted to help burp her in this picture.

 Jordyn Loraine was named after her Nana, 

Marilyn Loraine Hoer Keys. 

We hope to name our children's middle names after someone in their family they can pattern their lives after. I hope she grows to be like the beautiful, hard working and infinitely kind person that my mother is.

Thank you to the family back in Texas for letting us have Mom for 10 days!

 Jax Aaron is after his Dad (if you didn't already figure that out), and who better, he's already so much like Aaron!

Our attempts to get a good picture of our new angel.

 I just think this picture is too funny!

 This girl already has her Daddy wrapped around her finger.
