Jaxon Robert Birt

First and foremost, let me introduce you to the newest addition to our family.

Jaxon Robert Birt was born on December 31, 2007 at 4:28pm via c-section. It was not an emergency c-section. I went to the doctor that morning for my weekly appointment and she made the determination (after an x-ray) that I would not be able to deliver him naturally to schedule the c-section. It's a good thing too, because she found that the umblilical cord was around his neck. His first name is just one that Daniel and I liked and Robert is after my late papaw Bob, who passed away March, 20, 2005. Jaxon was 7 pounds 14 ounces and 21 1/2 inches at birth. A lot of people say he looks just like Daniel, but I still think it's too early to tell! (Maybe that's just wishful thinking that he'll have some of my characteristics).

He is growing very quickly. At his week doctor's appointment he was +7 ounces and + 1/4 inch. That was 2 1/2 weeks ago, so I'm sure he's grown even more! He is a very good baby, doesn't cry very much at all. We're still working on the "sleeping pattern". He tends to stay up pretty late, wakes around 3 and then again around 6 or 7. For now, while I'm off of work, that schedule is okay, but I'm hoping for something a little more "work friendly" once I return to work. I'm scheduled to return to work Feb. 18th.
