Alright, so in just a few hours, my son will be born. Look to this post for updates over the course of the day with links to videos and pictures! Updates Below, Keep scrolling!.
Update: Thursday Evening:
He’s a big boy. 10lbs, 14 oz and 22.75″ long. Happy and healthy 
Update: Friday morning.
So the little guy is having a bit of trouble with rapid breathing and temperature. He’s been breathing a little too quickly, and his temp is stuck at around 100. Because of this, they’re (doctors) putting him on IV antibiotics to prevent any infection (which this could be a sign of), so he’ll be stuck in the nursery. Sorry prospective visitors.
However, he’s in very good shape, and his numbers have already improved since this morning. The antibiotics take about 48 hours to fully work though, so he’s there for the next two days. The nurses and doctors stressed with us that we shouldn’t worry, and this kind of thing can be fairly common with c-section babies. This is very much a “preventative” rather than a “reactive”.
More later. In the meantime, enjoy a picture of the little guy.
Jackson with an IV 
Note: IV’s look scary, but he’s totally comfortable and doing well. Apparently, he likes the heater they have on him so that’s why he’s sitting all open like. They were going to move him to a regular bed, but I guess he’s really comfortable
Update: Friday Afternoon:
He’s doing pretty well. Should be back in the room with us soon. Numbers are back just about where they should be.
Update: Friday Night:
