say hello to our new addition!!!

so after more than 41 weeks of pregnancy and 42 grueling hours of labor, lil’ jaydon coalson is FINALLY here!!!! born one week ago (4.28.09)…6lbs 8oz…20 inches long! i’m still so amazed!!! everyday people have been texting, emailing, and calling to see pictures, and i know it’s been a week…but hey…i just gave birth…and i’m functioning on 4 hours of sleep a night. but here are a handful to start you off. you can be sure there will be tons more to come…
a little dr. evil action for you…

if you’re preggo or thinking about having a baby, i STRONGLY recommend watching the film “the business of being born“. 

at the start of my pregnancy i wasn’t sure how i wanted to give birth. thought i’d take the typical hospital route…actually i wanted to give birth in the hospital because i had never stayed in a hospital before and thought this would finally be my chance (i know…wierd). but i watched this film, and it totally changed my mind.  i decided to go the au natural route, and even though it was the HARDEST and most PAINFUL thing i had EVER been through, in the end….i’m so glad i did it that way.  nothing beats the natural oxytocin rush that you feel when you give birth naturally and you finally hold your baby in your arms after such a long journey. 

jaydon was born at best start birth center, which is just the most FABULOUS place to give birth in san diego!!!  i loved my experience there!!!  all the midwives are just the coolest and most down-to-earth people to have shared this journey with!  HUGE THANKS to jude, roberta, ruth, and carlee…who were all with me throughout my labor.  haha…my labor was so long i went through 3 different on-call midwife shifts.
