Introducing...

Jake Alan Calloway
6 lbs 9 oz 19.5 inches




our newest addition, born March 27.
I thought I would get to this post a lot sooner, but I've been kind of busy...weird. Anyway, I was induced again. My doctor check my fluid on Friday and while it appeared fine, there was a chance that the cord was wrapped around the boy's neck. They can't tell for sure (who knew, I thought they could tell everything FOR SURE) but the doctor said if it was wrapped around, it was quite loose and that if I was induced, it wouldn't have time to tighten and become a problem...but it could have been nothing. We decided to go ahead with the induction...I liked being induced last time so I figured might as well do that again. So I have two kids but I have still never gone into real labor...nor have I ever felt a contraction, I always have my epidural before they really kick in! The delivery went quite smooth and but it took almost all day. The doctor thought it would only take a few hours since it was my second and I had progressed a little on my own but no, we sat all day until he was born at 5:28 with the cord wrapped around his neck twice!

We are now at home adjusting to life as a family of four. We thankfully had Grandma here for the first week, but we are on our own now!! Ryan keeps asking where Grandma is, hoping that she is somewhere around so that they can play. Jake is a really good baby so far, hopefully he keeps it up. He doesn't cry very often and he is a pretty good eater, so he doesn't eat as often as Ryan did. And now, for the pictures...

Congrats! He's adorable! I don't know what it's like to go into labor either and I keep thinking I won't know what's going on when I do!!

Congrats you guys!! He is such a cutie! So glad everything went smooth. And isn't crazier how much busier everything gets? Two little boys are so fun!

Diane said...

LISA! So very cute. I love him. Where are the pics of your drapes? I love the picture of Ryan holding him. Doesn't having a baby make the older child so HUGE?

Ciara said...

NICE! He looks just like Matt right?! So you've never felt a contraction ever? EVER? Man, you're really making me want to have a baby right now instead of 14 months from now. Congrats friend, wish I were there to help, and to MEET both your boys! lov ua!

jayme said...

Heather said...

He's beautiful Lisa! Congratulations! I was induced last time too and I'm hoping it works out that I do it again...the thought of "real" labor scares me. :-)

Okay so Im scrolling through the pictures and then Jake's just staring back at me and I'm thinking "oops...awkward...he's in a sink having a bath and here I am just staring!" No really...it's more like HE'S thinking "hey Auntie Carol...wha's up?" Congrats!!! Love that you have TWO CUTE BOYS!! They're gonna have a blast growing up! You looked great in the pics...better than I do on a GOOD morning...how do you do it?

Jason and Shannon Salmon said...

He is so cute. Love his lips in the first picture. Ryan looks like he is going to be a great big brother. Congrats...and gain some weight!! :)

Congratulations on another beautiful little guy.

Tara said...

OK, I just read all 15 comments and NO ONE said anything about how Jake looks just like Ryan...is it just me? They look like twins...except that Ryan is a lot bigger than his twin brother. :) Lisa you look great! I can't wait to hear all about what it's like to have TWO! And hopefully I can come visit one day...or you can come visit one day...soon!
Loves,
T

Congrats! What a handsome little guy ;) I'm gonna predict he will look just like his big brother. . . just a hunch ;)

Kay said...

He's so cute! Are you sure those are pictures of baby Jake and not of Ryan?? He looks more like Ryan in these pictures than he did when I saw him in person!!
You're really not missing anything great by skipping real labor- more pain, more puking, more drama. I'm sure you could do without those things!
