Today was the big day, we reported to the hospital at 7am sharp, Sharee changed into a gown that was perfect for the occasion.

After a hug for luck, we started for the long day ahead.

The nurses where great, they checked on Sharee on a regular basis and made sure everything was OK.

Chance and Kendra could feel the excitement in the air, they stayed on their best behavior.

I think that we spent as much time in the hallway as we did in the room, and the kids where great.

Kendra took a nap and grandma tried to catch one with her.

Finally the time came along with little Jaxon S. Thackeray. He was born at 4:47 pm weighing in at 8lbs 10ozs.

He was having a hard time breathing so the doctors whisked him away to NICU, that was a little worrisome.

After the doctors did their testing they decided to keep him in the NICU for at least 48 hrs to make sure all is well.

We couldn't be happier that the little fellow will be OK.

Mom is a little sad, its hard to have a baby and not get to hold him right away. Maybe tonight she will be able to go visit.
