We are so glad that he is finally here!
I was induced early in the morning, around 7:30 am, on October 1st at St. Marks hospital. My water was broken around 9:30 am, and I was started on pitocin. I got my epidural around 10:50 am and was complete by 11:30 am. I opted to "rest and descend" which allows my contractions to push the baby down, cutting down on pushing time. When I felt ready to push, 12:15 pm, I found out my Doctor was in a c-section, so I opted to wait for her to finish before delivering. It was a very long 50 min! When she finally arrived she could tell that the baby was facing up instead of facing down, so I had to push on my side to let gravity help do it's thing and he turned the right way. After 20 minutes of pushing, he was here at 1:34 pm! I was surprised that everything went so quickly. I feel so great now, I just love not being pregnant. No more contractions, heaviness, tummy, etc. etc. It is so great and plus I have the cutest baby boy to show for it all.

Yes, he has the cutest platinum blonde hair all over. Seriously I don't get a claim on either of my boys. The nurses were just as in love with him as I am, and would come by just to see him and his ample blonde hair. Infact he got his hair washed twice while we were there just from all the admirers stopping in to touch his cute hair.
Jackson is so proud of his baby brother and while he is still trying to warm back up to Mommy he has really taken to his brother. He always is good to find him a toy to play with and gives him his stuffed animals when he crys. Things just seem to feel better all around now that he is here. We love him so much and cannot imagine him not being in our little family.

Congratulations Sharon! I am so glad that everything went so well. I'm sure Bradley was very ready to come and you were very ready to hold him after all of that waiting :) Isn't crazy how big Jackson seems all of the sudden. It almost seemed like Rulan transformed that night that Annabelle was born. It seems like just yesterday that Rulan and Jackson were that small. How time flies! Who would have guessed that out of all of us girls, your little boys have the blondest hair? Go figure ;) I hope you are able to rest a little!
