My water started linking the morning after my due date, but my body was not in labor.
So, I headed to Chuck-E-Cheese with the kids and enjoyed a little basketball as well!
My water leaked all day long, so by that evening I headed to the hospital. Since, we've done this quite often we knew it would be a while before any real excitement. Danny joined me later that evening.
Since I was not in labor I knew it would be a very long wait, so I started on pitocin to speed up the process. I have had Van and the twins at home naturally and because I'm cheap I decided to have Jane naturally as well. Oh my goodness! This was by far my hardest delivery! Jane was one of my smallest babies (besides the twins) and it was the most painful! I believe since my body wasn't naturally ready to have her, plus the pitocin made it so much more painful. I usually only post my cute after delivery pictures, but these pictures just show exactly how it feels when that baby is finally out!
Jane Judith Jensen
Born July 11, 2015 at 1:46am
Weighing 7lbs. 8oz. 18 1/2 in. long.
She was so alert! After they wrapped her up (and stitched me up), I was able to look at her and talk to her. When she heard my voice she starred right at me, almost as if she was talking with her eyes, saying, I know you, you are my mommy. Every time I talked she would stop nursing and look right at me. Another beautiful spirit child of God was born into our family. We are so blessed to have her here!
Hanna came to Jane's birth. We had talked about it before hand and she decided she wanted to be there. Mostly so she could hold Jane before all the other siblings. I hope she wasn't too traumatized by my cries and screams. :) With my previous natural births (even with Van who was 10lbs.) I didn't really make too much noise. Of course, I'd moan and whine, but this birth was screams!
Daddy and Jane.
Mommy and Jane.
We already love you so much!
We are so blessed!
