Jaxon Riley Young

I know I am a bit late in posting this but I have been occupied the last few weeks. So here is the latest with the Young family. Jaxon Riley Young arrived on February 26, 2010 at 7:42 am. He weighted 8 lbs 4.9 oz and was 19 1/2 inches long. Everything went smoothly and I am getting better each day from my c-section.

I went to my weekly dr checkup on February 25th and there was no change with the baby. I was not dilated at all and the baby had not dropped. I had told my dr the previous week that if there was no change that I wanted to go ahead and do the c-section. As much as I wanted to try to have a VBAC, I wanted our baby to be here more and I also wanted my body back. So on the 26th Matt and I checked into Presbyterian Hospital of Plano at 6:00 am. I was nervous to have another c-section b/c my recovery with Levi was so rough. But I sucked it up and went through with it. I think for me the scariest part was getting poked so many times. It seems I always get myself so worked up before I get any type of shot or needle stuck in me.

Matt was there the whole time cheering me on. He has been so amazing taking care of us. I came home from the hospital the following Monday. We were so excited to have our family together. But we found out the next day the Levi was sick with RSV and strep. So we had to keep Levi away from Jaxon the whole week. Levi didn't understand why and he was very confused as to who this new person was. Needless to say, it was a rough week. But we survived and now we are getting close to 1 month with Jaxon.

I can't believe that I now have 2 kids. It is still strange to me to say that I have children and not just a child. I love my boys more than anything and I hope that they will be best buds!

Levi was so curious about who or what we brought home.
