Introducing Jaxon Tyler Reetz!

We are so excited to introduce you to the newest member of our family! :) Jaxon Tyler Reetz was born at 7:09pm on Wednesday, Jan 14th via c-section. He is HUGE....10 pounds 6 ounces and 21 1/2 inches long! His size is the reason that we ended up in a c-section! After trying to dilate for over 12 over, I never got beyond 3/4 centimeters and his head was not dropping so Dr. Pew made the decision to do the surgery.

The nurses are currently laughing at me seeing that it is only 5am and I have already been out of bed twice and was able to walk around this last time! :) They said most people don't even attempt to get out of bed until 15-24 hours after surgery...

Jaxon has been perfect so far! The only time we have heard his little cry was when he was born...other than that he has been sleeping and nursing (which is also going really well so far!).


Anyway, from my hospital room to you...meet Baby Jax:

My CHUNKY monkey!

Are you kidding me???!!!!

Jax and me (excuse the way I look...it was a LONG day!)

I am sure we will get more pictures today, so I will continue to post. :) Thank you for all your love, support, and well-wishes...we are so grateful for all of our friends and family!

I'm so glad you are recovering so well! I was the exact same way! I thought the nurses wanted me to take a walk the evening after the c-section but they were just trying to move me to a chair for a few minutes. HA! :) So glad to hear you're doing well and I'm so glad Jax seems like a laid back back. I so look forward to "seeing" him grow up! :)
