Jack Ian Ardern

Jack is such a good baby. He's so adorable and we love him so much. I had decided to be induced on Wed. So I went in at 7:15am to the hospital, started me on pitocin around 8am. Had an epidural. WHICH I LOVED! I was only in labor for 5 hours and pushed for 25 min. We were shocked at how fast I had him! Even the nurse and dr. were amazed. The anesthesiologist came in to check on me and I was already holding him in my arms and he certainly didn't expect that!! I had him at 1:25pm. But during the delivery, Jack was face up and so he needed help being turned around. They used the vacuum (which unfortunately mishaped his head! It looks sore too!!) to help turn him but he was too stubborn. But thankfully, at the very last second he turned around and things were better from then on. He is completely fine. There was a bit of nervousness when he first failed his hearing test but several tries later he finally passed! A little miracle for us. Needless to say, it was a tough few hours that first night. Thank you for all your prayers and well wishes. We are so thankful for all our family and friends.
