Dade Jackson

I woke up Thursday morning having contractions. They were not consistent but they were pretty hard. So we ended up going to the hospital that evening as they got harder. I was only dilated to 1cm and an hour later I had not progressed so they sent me home. That night around 10:00 I started leaking fluid which later we found out was the amniotic fluid. I had a doctors appointment at 1:30 p.m. yesterday and decided to wait to go to the doctor instead of going to the hospital again even though my contractions were getting much harder. The doctor told me my water had already broke so I needed to go to the hospital. At that time I was dilated to 2cm. We got to the hospital around 3:00 and by 10:00 last night I had only dilated to 4cm and things were progressing very slowly and we weren't even sure they would continue to progress. So I ended up having a cesarean. At 10:56 p.m. on February 13th Dade Jackson was born weighing 7Ib 9oz and 19 1/2" long.
