Jade Marilee Sherratt was born yesterday @ 2:46p.m. She had a very rough start into the world. My sister Whitnee was in labor for 30 hours and had to push for 3 hours or more. After using forceps and the vaccuum and a lot of hard pushing she was finally ready to come meet us. To make a long story short Jade wasn't breathing when she was born and came face up so she has to stay in the NICU for 48 hours because of an infection she got. It was the hardest labor and delivery I have ever seen I was wishing I could step in and do it for her she was so exhausted but did a good job without complaining! The baby is doing good now she is absolutely darling it make me almost want to have another one (almost) She weighed 7 lbs. 13 oz. and 20 inches long. Two different friends said to me yesterday "it was probably because your mom wasn't ready to let go of the baby yet" So I told Whitnee that and we sat and cried because we think its probably true.
