Jaiden Charles Jones

Well, I know that it has been 2 weeks since we had Jaiden but it's been a little crazy around here now that we have two babies and trying to recover from a c-section. For all who didn't know Jaiden was born on 12/08/2009 (exactly 16 months from when Josiah was born) at 4:41 p.m. He was 7lb-9oz and 20 3/4 inches. That morning I started having contractions and we went to the hospital. After 1-1/2 hours of being on a monitor the nurse came in and told us that my contractions were not strong enough to stay in the hospital but they didn't like Jaiden's heart rate. (it was dipping low every so often) The nurse said that they were going to induce me. While in the hospital I started getting really cold and my body was aching. They moved us to a birthing room and on the way I started having the shakes. They got me hooked up to everything and then took my temperature found I had a feaver of 102.4. They called the doctor and put me on IV's to get fluid into my body. They also gave me Tylenol to help get the fever down. While this was all going on Jaiden's heart rate was over 200 beats a minute (this is extremaly high for babies) and my white blood cell count was also too high. Within thirty minutes the doctor decided we needed to do a c-section before the infection got into Jaiden's body. We didn't want this to happen but also knew that God was taking care of us and was guiding the decisions of the doctors and nurses. The c-section went great and Jaiden came out crying and healthy. My recovery has been going good. I'm able to walk around and am okay taking Motrin IB. Jaiden is growing and gaining weight. He does have stomach issues and we are praying that they will settle down quickly. It's been hard for me to not be able to hold Josiah but I'm very happy to know that we have family close who are giving him the love that I can't. Josiah love's his baby brother and gives him kisses all the time. God is truly watching out for our family and has shown us so much this past year. Thank you all for you prayers and support that you show our family. Merry Christmas!
