Baby is here! * Halloween * Birthday

Jace Thomas Hale is here! Yay!!! We are so happy to have that done! I went in to the Doctor on Thursday at about 10:30. I was dilated at a 5. The doc said to come back in a couple of hours to see if I had progressed any further. We went to Toys R Us and to lunch and I told Justin we should just go to the hospital because I was feeling some pressure. So we went to the hospital and I was dilated to a 6. To make a short story shorter, we had the baby at 3:59 p.m. with very little effort. It was the best labor ever!! Jace weighed 7 lbs. 0 oz. and was 19 1/2" long -- my biggest baby yet. He tested Coombs+ which means that some of my blood got in him and vice versa and we have two different blood types. Basically it just means it causes jaundice and they need to keep a close eye on it. So he's on a billi blanket and he glows. :) Hopefully we'll be able to get rid of it soon. It's kind of a nuisance. Here are some pics:

Jace had to go under the "light" and so had to have a cover for his eyes. Cute!! I couldn't stop laughing when they brought him in with these on.

Here we are at home. I took these pictures today. He's been a little more awake today. Let's hope this trend continues. He's been waking up like every hour to hour and a half at night.

I couldn't resist this picture. Jarom was helping "Grandma" mop the floor.

The night Jace was born, Amber had a Piano Recital. She was so worried that Justin wasn't going to be able to take her. :) I told her not to worry about it -- he would be there. LOL

Ethan's Birthday was on Halloween. He had a good day. He got to go see the new baby, go trick or treating, open present, and have cake. :)
