Jensen Baby

 On Sept. 29 I went to my doctor for an ultrasound.  She discovered that the fluid levels around the baby were really low.  My level was a 4 and normal is 10-12.  The plan was to keep me over night at the hospital with an I.V. and drinking lots of fluid.  If my levels increased I would go home and be on bed rest for a week, if they did not increase I would be induced the following day.  The next morning my levels were 5.3, I would be having a baby on Oct.1, (due date was Oct. 18).  The pitocin started at 11am.  My doctor finally came at 4pm to break my water which finally threw me into full labor and the baby was born at 6:28pm.  He weighed 5 lbs. 14.9 oz. and was 19.5 in.  He was completely healthy which was a blessing because the umbilical cord was short and also the placenta did not look very good.  We chose to name him Andrew Tate Jensen.  He is such a good baby and I have enjoyed him the most of all my children at this age.  Xander & Kaysha love him so much and help me take care of him and love him.
