Welcome to the world Jack Nolan Aycoth

What an adventure the past few days have been. Jack arrived Friday morning at 7:09, weighing 8lbs 12oz and is 21.5 inches long. I truly do not think we fully understand or experience true joy until you look into the eyes of your child. The love and instant bond is unshakeable!

A little about our journey... We went in for induction Thursday morning, they started the Cervidil around 8:00am and by noon I was starting to contract. At 8:00pm Dr. McIlveen came in and checked and I had progressed quite a bit and he decided to brake my water and things intensified quickly. I was contracting about every minute and decided to get the epidural. They came and gave it to me and everything was great for about 2.5 hours and then I started feeling the contractions again. They came back pulled it and gave me another epidural and again it worked for 2.5 hours...needless to say after being stuck at least 6 times, they concluded that my body was resisent to the drugs. SO I had to do it the old fashioned way....without any medication, but it was all worth it and for him I would do it all over again. Mom and Dustin were able to be in the room and were able to witness Jack's birth and without them I really don't think that I could have done it. So enjoy the pictures, we will be posting more soon!
