Steve and I are so pleased to announce that our son, Grayson Robert Jones arrived via Caesarean Section in the early hours of October 25, 2009. Coming in at a whopping 9 pounds 11 ounces and 22 inches long, he surely is a big boy. He has ten little fingers and ten little toes and is healthy, and we are so grateful.
Well the story is quite funny actually, and it goes a little like this...I sent Steve to the U of U football game on Saturday with my Dad and brothers and he was quite upset with me because he was worried I would go into labor. I assured him I wouldn't and sent him on his way. A few hours later I woke up from my nap with awful cramps and ran to the bathroom when my water broke. I called Steve and said "You're gonna kill me, my water just broke." He was so nervous/excited that he didn't even say "I told you so!" I then called my Mom to come get me and we headed for the hospital. Steve left the game and took the trax to meet us at the hospital. There, they admitted me and checked to see where I was. I was dilated to a five. I had a few unbearable contractions, but the anesthesiologist made things all better. Before we knew it I was to a ten and pushing like crazy. Three hours later we were still in the same place and Grayson hadn't budged. This is when I decided a caesarean section would be the best way to go. I was exhausted from pushing and was done.
Anyways, our stay in the hospital was a little longer than planned and we weren't able to come home until Thursday morning. It has been a rough few days and I'm sure the next few weeks and months will be even rougher, but it is more than worth it. We love our little man more than anything. Grandma Tricia brought Maggie home yesterday and we were kind of worried about how she would act around Grayson, but she is so cute. She has just been super cautious and curious. It's so cute.
