Sophie Lillian Jaacks is here!!!

Sophie was born on July 17th at 3:38. Weighing 8 lbs. 12oz. and 20 1/2 inches. Contractions started on Wedneday July 15th around 10PM and continued through the night and all through the next day. We did our best to stay comfortable at home as long as possible, but ended up going to the hospital about 28 hours later around 2 am on Friday, the 17th. After some much needed relief by my new best friend, the anesthesiologist, we rested comfortably until around 10AM. We started pushing at noon and after three hours and three redoses from my best friend, she just didn't want to budge. The doctor was called and we had to make a choice whether to try a vacuum or go directly to the operating room. The doctor came back with forceps and two contractions later she was out. Turns out she was face up (OP) and no one knew it, causing her to be stuck in my pelvis all that time.

After a long 41hours, everyone is happy and healthy. We had a great hospital stay with wonderful doctors and nurses and are glad to be home. Now its just trying our best to get into a routine and show this little girl just how much we love her and will do anything in the world to make her happy.

Thank you for all the well wishes, gifts, and cards. Kyle and I couldn't be any happier to be new parents to an amazing and beautiful little girl.
