Paul was working in the ER the evening of February 8th. Hattie, Ruby, and I headed to the mall for a bit that evening (in which I bought a $9 swimsuit from Old Navy that I was hoping to fit into post baby!) and after about an hour I told Hattie I was ready for the couch! After getting Ruby to bed, I started having some minor contractions that were 2-3 minutes apart. Hattie seemed to be a bit more worried than I was... she googled labored signs and began asking me questions. After answering "yes" to all of her questions, she thought I better head to the hospital! I wasn't quite sure if this was actually the real deal but I knew I wasn't going to be able to sleep. I let Paul know I was on my way and I met him in the ER. We headed up to labor and delivery. and at this point I still wasn't totally sure this was it. However, after 45 minutes the contractions really kicked in and then I was sure! I got an epidural and soon after Jace was born! Much easier this time around!
Jace was so funny right after being born. He had the biggest pout I've ever seen! He kept pouting for a good ten minutes!
Jace had plenty of visitors that first day, including his big sister! I was so excited for Ruby to get there to meet her new brother. She was in love with him immediately!
We were able to go home already on Sunday which we were very thankful for.
Jace, you are so loved and we thank God for you every day.
