Our Baby Jayden

Here is our baby Jayden Clyde Simkins. He was born Thanksgiving morning at 12: 41am. He was 7lbs 9oz and 20in long.

This was the board that has our nurses and my goals. I was so worried about having horrible nurses! I think thats what make me so nervous and got the high blood pressure that morning. But I had AWESOME nurses! My main nurse Kristen was my parents old bishop's wife. She is the cutest, sweetest lady ever! and my tech was great too!

On Wed. morning we had a doc appt 2 strip my membranes. All morning long while we were getting ready I was so nervous!!! I kind of felt like this was it! We need to bring our bags because he is going to come! We went to the doc and of course brought our bags. I got my weight and blood pressure checked. Weight was great but my blood pressure was not! Well the doc came in and stripped my membranes and said well you want to have him this weekend? I can use the excuse with your high blood pressure to admit you. (He knew about how I was forced on leave from my job and felt horrible and wanted me to have him early to spend time with our little boy) He let Brian and I talk and we both felt like it was a good idea because 1.family could all come up and see; because of the holiday. 2.we could spend more time with him before I have to go back to work. 3.everything was healthy with us both! So we made the decision to do it. by the way they checked my blood pressure agian and everything was normal but the doc said it still will work!

So we got the call from the labor and delivory to come in at 4:30. My doc broke my water at 5pm and said I bet he will come around 3 in the morning. I was dialated at a 3 and efaced about 85%. My nurse kept saying I hope you have him before 6 am before Im off work. First time moms dont go fast! Around 7 I was ready for the epedurral. Brian asked if they could check me and kristen did and I was dialated at a 4 and still 85% efaced. Around 8 they came in and checked agian and I was at a 7 and 100% efaced. Around 10:30-11 she came in and check and I was at a 10 and 100% efaced. Kristen was shocked! She had me try pushing and she said oh boy! dont push anymore I need to call the doc! We called my mom telling her the news and she of course was right on her way! the doc came around 12:15 and I had him at 12:41! Everyone in that room was so shocked I had him so fast! I was acually was telling the nurses when I felt I needed to push.
