HE is here...

IT'S A BOY!!
(was I right, or was I right?...maternal instincts)

SO happy to announce the arrival of Jackson Lucas Wheeler... 

Born on Sunday, May 22nd @ 11:21pm 

He weighed 7lb9 oz and was 20.5 in long..

I was in labor for 14 hours, got to 9cm, and then his heart rate began to drop with the contractions. They stopped the contractions with a medicine (that was enjoyable), and his heartrate went back to being perfect. Our Dr. decided it was better to be safe than stress the baby out, and deliver him through a c-section...

Perfect in every way...

Jack shares a very special birthday with his Aunt Jessica...  it was a close one, by 39 minutes, but they can be forever birthday buds...

 Jack has the best temperament ..he was the best baby in the nursery...everyone adored him. We kept asking if something was wrong with him, because we had yet to hear his little "voice". They reassured us that he was perfect, and it would most likely change when we got home ;) We seriously do feel blessed with his "behavior" up to this point. My recovery has been very rough, and I can't begin to imagine the stress if he was colicky or EXTRA needy. We're taking one day at a time... Grammy Guinane came to stay with us for a few days to help out. She has been great to have, and I know she is loving every minute of being with Jack. We went through diaper 101 together, as Luke has been the main diaper changer, and she hadn't changed a diaper in 26 years. Luke surely is the best diaper changer. He is an amazing Dad, not that I ever expected any less, but to see him with Jack makes me feel SO lucky. He has taken on a lot of extra duties, duties I thought I would be doing, and does them all so naturally. 

Here are a few pictures from the last few days..Enjoy!

Our first stop was the Joe Pa statue..which was visible from our hospital room. 

Literally a quick drive by shoot..ha!

SO many more pictures to share....let me build some stamina back up and I will be a showing off fool. This blog seriously took me 4 days to complete!

We love this little guy...that is for sure!
