Welcome to this world little Jameson!

Yes- we officially now have 8 arrows in our quiver and we are praising God! Little Jameson Javier was born this morning at 1:24 am. He is 6 lbs 12 oz and 21 inches long. He is our longest baby yet and right in the middle for weight. He is very white and looks like Jacklyn did as a baby. He has just a little hair compared to our other babies.

The delivery story (may be too much information for some)

Sunday night I was up with a lot of contractions until 5:30 am - nothing too painful, but I couldn't sleep through them. They fizzled out so I rested until later in the morning and had contractions on and off all day Monday. The kids let me get a nap Monday afternoon because I was exhausted from not sleeping that night. At 8:45 pm I had a sudden terrible contraction lasting 4 minutes - then they came hard every 2 minutes. We packed up and got all the kids loaded in the van by 10 pm. We dropped them off at my parents and waited through some more contractions to make sure it was "the real thing" (remember we live 45 min. from this hospital). We got to the hospital at 12:05 and they checked me into triage and I was at 4cm with a lot of pain. I told Javi we came to the hospital too soon. But soon after, my water broke all on its own (the first time ever). Things quickly got worse and I was at 5cm so they put in an iv line and started to move me to the delivery room a little after 1 am. I wanted to walk but struggled to get there because the contractions were almost continuous. When I got there, she suggested I use the restroom before getting monitored in bed. While on the toilet I had a contraction and told her the baby was coming out. At least 5 nurses all instantly showed up and helped lift me in bed and Jameson's head literally popped out seconds after getting on the bed, then I pushed his body out - all without any doctor - the nurses were awesome and did it all. One doctor in the hospital showed up soon after and my doctor on call came minutes later to stitch me up. I went from 5 cm to delivering in less than 20 minutes. It was an amazing whirlwind. Javi got the exciting trip to the hospital in the middle of the night that he was wishing for and I got to deliver a little early and experience my water breaking.

We are obviously so in love and will post pictures as soon as Javi gets the camera cord.
