He's Here!!

Jill and Jason are happily enjoying their first night with their son. So Jill asked me (her sister) to update the blog for everyone. So Auntie Sara is pleased to announce the birth of Brayden Scott Voss. He was born this afternoon at 4:16 and was 9 lbs. 9 oz. and 21.5 inches long.

Jill and Jason got a call from the hospital around 3:30 am telling them they finally had a room ready for them! They tried inducing her but things were not progressing too much. Then when they broke her water his heart rate dropped and they weren't too pleased with that and she was still only dialated to around 4 cm yet. So they decided to go ahead with a c-section. Turns out it was a good choice. Little Brayden was face up instead of face down and had the umbilical cord wrapped around his neck twice! Plus he was a pretty big boy, the doctor said a c-section was the best choice! Jill and Brayden are both doing well.

I'm sure Jill and Jason will have much more details and pictures once they are all back home and settled again, but here are a few pictures of their new little boy!

Put a fork in me, I'm done!!

Well we have reached and exceeded 40 weeks.  I am officially 40 weeks and 1 day.  I honestly don't think that he is ever gone to come.  I know the safest place for him is where he is and we are so thankful that he is healthy and happy in there, BUT I am very uncomfortable and ready to see his cute little face.  (I assume he will be the cutest baby ever, he will steal the title from his cousin Zach of course)  We went to the doctors twice last week and both times their was nothing.  No dilating, no enfacement, no dropping, NOTHING!!! I have known all along that genetics was not on my side but I had some hope, and after this week, it is dwindling.  So we go back to the doctor again on Tuesday to see if anything has changed and for an ultrasound.  The ultrasound is to see just how big he is and to make sure he will fit if I get induced. (WHAT?!! was my first response)  Then a decision will be made for induction or whatever.  They are trying to give him the benefit of the doubt and hope he will get things going on his own because it is the best, but they have promised me that they will not let me go more than a week past my due date, so by next Saturday he should be here.  My next post should be real pictures of him and the reveal of his name.  Wish us luck!! :-)
