The Moore the Merrier: Welcome to the World Jaxon Henry!

So I'm sure by now everyone has read my blog I wrote the morning of July 2! My 5 am random blog about preparing for Jaxon. Little did I know, at 11:30 that day, I would be laying in a hospital bed having an IV started, labs drown, and a plethora of questions to answer. Jay and I went in for my doctor's appointment at 10:40 that morning with Dr. Harzke. When we got there my blood pressure was higher than it had been, and I was showing lots of signs of preeclampsia. While we were talking to our doctor about an induction date it became evident that he had different plans in mind. Just a few minutes later his nurse was escorting us to Labor and delivery and my heart was racing with anticipation and excitement... WE WERE MEETING OUR SON TODAY! I tried to stay calm, seeing how calm Jay was really helped me. We rushed to get a hold of our families and get settled into the room. After just a little over 5 hours of labor, our sweet baby boy made his grand appearance. My mom and Jay stayed with me the entire time.. both trying to keep me calm and motivated. I had refused the epidural and I wanted to labor naturally so it was a pretty scary few hours for all of us. Needless to say it was really a pretty easy experience ( as easy as childbirth can be of course ). At 5:07 pm that evening Jaxon Moore made his way into this crazy world. He weighed 7lbs 2oz and was 20" long. From the moment I held him I was head over heels in love with him. He has the most precious little nose, and has a full head of hair! He looks so much like his daddy but absolutely loves to snuggle with me. Both of our families were there to greet our little bundle of joy, along with a few special friends. After Jay and I got a little time along with him the room was flooded with people ready to see our sweet boy. With all the extra hands snuggling my sweet boy I could finally have that Ham sandwich I had been craving since November, and finally got a nice cold Dr. Pepper to wash it down with. Second best moment of that whole day ; ) . I spent the entire night just staring at that beautiful boy and telling Jay how in love with both of them I was. I couldn't even relish those moments enough. My heart was overflowing with pride and joy and love.
Over the next few days we enjoyed some very lovely company. We were released from the hospital on July 4. We spent the evening at home... we had seen enough fireworks for one year! The next day I called Jaxon's pediatrician because I noticed that he was looking really yellow. We rushed to the office for an appointment, and after what seemed like an eternity, we were told that Jaxon's bilirubin had more than doubled over night, and that we needed to head straight to the hospital. Thankfully Jay is the calm one of the two of us, I just broke down in tears. We had JUST gotten that sweet boy home and here we were, already back in the hospital. We stayed there until Saturday evening. They had to hook him up to an IV and put him under a tent of lights for phototherapy. Jay stayed by our sides the entire time. Our families were so supportive and brought us food, encouragement, and a TJ's gift card! (If you know us, thats enough to perk us up anytime!) When we came home, our pantry and fridge had been secretly stocked full of groceries! I was in tears just thinking about how blessed we are! Jay and I both have absolutely spectacular families...and Jaxon and I have the most wonderful provider and father/husband anyone could ask for. I have never loved any two boys so much in my life. I am so grateful for both of them and would be absolutely lost without them....

now for what everyone has been waiting for...pictures of our newest addition.....
