He's Here!!!

Well I am sorry it took so long to give everyone an update. Jeramy Michael Harman has now joined the outside world. My cute boy is here! He arrived Saturday October 25th at 10:39 am. We started inducing me on friday morning at 8:30am. Labor was very interesting and exhausting. After many hours of slow progress and finally no progress they restarted the progress from the beginning. Lucky for me my family is amazing. I had my hubby, mom, dad, best friend/sister, and sue (just like a mom) there either all night or most of the night. That is what made the difference for the whole 25 1/2 hours of long labor. Mike was pretty amazing and anxious. The nurse told everyone that it would be hours at a little before 10am. So dad, and sue left, annette left the night before at the wee hours. Mike went out to call his grandma. So it was mom and I on our own. At about 10am my doctor came in and said we were ready but still needed jeramy to turn over. So we turned me to my side and the doctor said he would be back in an hour. So there I was going to sit and wait. Well mom and I waited for about a minute or so and then the delivery process started. Mom said to breath through it all, I tried and said can't do it anymore. So she called the nurse... she decided we would do a few practice pushes. well after two sets of practices she saw hair and said no more pushing. She went to get the doctor and that was a long few minutes of waiting. She came back and said the doctor was coming and we could get started. Mike finally came in and rushed to hold my hand. Mom on one side and the nurse on the other we started delivery again. My doctor showed up and after 32 minutes of pushing all together we got our special delivery. Mike got to cut the ambillical cord.

Our hospital stay brought some fun and a lot good and sad moments. The first day jeramy wouldn't eat. The nurse suctioned his tummy 3 times. He had a lot of icky crap in there. Finally he started eating a little from me and a lot from a bottle.
Now after 4 days of life our bundle of joy is hanging in there. He has jaundice and is now on light therapy and daily blood tests. We are working very hard to get him well. We are stressed and tired but thrilled that he is here and such a beautiful baby.
