A Blog...Finally!

A good friend encouraged me to set up a blog when I was pregnant, but I kept putting it off. Now that Justin has arrived, Jason and I want a place where our family and friends can stay updated. Here's a brief update on what's happened in the last 4 weeks. My doctor advised us to schedule a C-section because the baby's head was measuring larger than his due date and my pelvic bone. So the big day was scheduled for Tuesday, Sept. 4th! Jason and I arrived at St. Vincent's hospital at 8 AM, both a little nervous...not knowing what to expect. After a lot of paperwork and bloodwork, we were taken up to the labor and delivery floor. At 1:15 PM, Justin Blake Parsons arrived weighing 7 lb. 3 oz and 20 1/2" long. He was a true miracle from God! The surgery went extremely well and the recovery has been much better than we expected. Jason is such an amazing daddy...he was changing diapers and cloths before I could even get out of bed. A big thank you to everyone who came to visit us at the hospital and once we got home. We are truly grateful to our parents, who were able to share our little bundle of joy once we got home. Mom...I truly appreciate the extra time you were able to spend here and for all your help around the house!
