The Bormann's: Baby Jack is here!

Our sweet baby boy, Jack Ryan Bormann, arrived on Saturday at 6:16 am. He weighed 8 lbs 4 oz and was 21.25 inches long. He is absolutely perfect!! We are so in love with him!

As I suspected I went into labor around 10:00 pm on Friday. Based on my experience with Madelyn that was about the same I timeframe that I went into labor with her (10 hours after having my membranes stripped). We headed to the hospital around 3:45 am. I was dilated to 5 when we got there. They hooked me up and started monitoring baby. He was so low and because I progressed so fast his heart rate had dropped to the 60's (apparently it is supposed to be between 110-160). Due to the drop in his heart rate the dr said they needed to get him out - so basically they would give me a few pushes otherwise we would be heading off for a c-section. I figured there was no way he would come naturally since I pushed for over 3.5 hours with Madelyn. Thankfully it only took 4-5 pushes and he was out.......less than 10 minutes. Ryan said the doctor literally pulled him out once his head was there.

Everything went great and Jack is/was totally fine! He has been thriving since and is doing great!

It was such a different feeling than with Madelyn. After being in labor for over 18 hours with Madelyn and being completed exhausted by the time she came, I felt great not too long after Jack arrived.

Madelyn was well taken care of while we were in the hospital. Shari and her son, Max, came over in the middle of the night when I went into labor. Madelyn & Max have a great time together so they played and played and had a great time. Ryan's parents and my parents were around over the weekend as well so lots of grandparent time for Madelyn......how could you not have a great time when you have 4 grandparents around!

Madelyn came to visit a couple times a day. She didn't know what to think the 1st time but by the end she was running around, and giving Baby Jack hugs & kisses.

We were discharged on Monday. I picked up Madelyn from daycare as I was missing her like crazy!!! I walked in her classroom and started crying when I saw her! She looked at me like "what's wrong mommy??!". It was so fun to see her and spend a little time together before we got home.

We are doing great! Adjusting to life as a family of 4. Jack slept great the first night, not as well last night. Madelyn loves hugging Jack.....all the time! Thankfully Ryan is home all this week so that has been a huge help.
