Nearly 13 hours of labor...1/2 back labor and a c-section later, here is our story in pictures! Jacob was so big that he would not move down into the birth canal...which led me to the c-section. We love Jacob so much and he is the light of our lives!! We chose the name Jacob Elias because we love the name Jake/Jacob and Elias was Jeff's father's middle name and his grandfather's name.
Jake was in the NICU for two days because of his low glucose levels. I was so sad. Amazingly he managed to fight through in a quick enough time that he was with us on the third day.
Jake is 12 days old as I write this. He is doing great! He had a great doctors checkup on Monday, and is gaining weight! It is amazing to see how much he has changed in just 12 short days! Life is good...tired, but good!
