th,
that's a little over 2
wks early) 12:02 am
Jaden Matthew Emery was born at 10lbs 5 oz. Look at that face he was a CHUNK. Right before he was born the doctor said she had delivered a 10
pounder (that morning). She doubted our baby would be that big. She was shocked.
This was three days before I delivered. We were trying to take our Christmas card picture. I was so ill because I had been to the Dr. that day and she told me I was doing "nothing"! And she would see me at my next
appointment. I asked her about the size of the baby, because Morgan weighed 8lb 9 oz and Jack weighed 8lbs 13oz. She said this is a 7
pounder at most.... little did she know. Look at how big I was. Thank goodness he was big. I would have been
embarrassed. I felt really good, for being that big. The only pregnancy issue I had was itchy palms and feet. I have scars where I scratched in my sleep. Poor John, between scratching and snoring he moved to the couch.
The morning after he was born my Mom brought Morgan(6) and Jack(3) by before school to see their new baby brother. They were very excited to get to hold him. Morgan fed him a bottle and Jack held him for a while. Great big brothers.
This was a picture of me the second time I got to hold him. They handed him to me right after he was delivered and then I did not get to hold him for almost 4 days. Unknowing to me or my doctors I had developed Placenta
Accreda. That is where the placenta grew into my uterine wall. I was told I looked good in this picture. So, I must have looked pretty rough. I am very
grateful to GOD that I lived. I can't imagine missing these past 3 years. HE put all the right doctors, nurses and staff in the right place at the right time. I am thankful to my awesome husband who took care of me and my baby. Running from one end of the hospital to another. Between me (CCU) and
Jaden (nursery). I am thankful to my awesome friends Megan, Susanna, Rachel who watched my other boys so that John and my Mom could take care of me and
Jaden. I am thankful for
Jaden's pediatrician who asked the nursery staff would watch over
Jaden even though he had been discharged. Otherwise, John or my mom would have to go home with him while the other stayed with me. GOD is good....
This is
Jaden at his first birthday "licking" the beaters. I think he liked the beaters better than his birthday cupcakes. We had his party at Grandmother and
Granddaddy's. Lots of friends and family came.
Wow, how time flies! His second birthday, we made cupcakes at home and just did the family thing. For such a fat baby he has slimmed down
a lot.
Jaden this fall at the
Pumpkin Patch. We are looking forward to watching him grow. I have been warning Morgan and Jack that he will probably end up being taller than them... He is already wearing 5T clothes. He is catching up to Jack fast. I can't believe that he is 3. Thank goodness he still likes to be my baby. But he already would rather hang with the "boys".
