Baby Jack is here!
















We are super excited to announce the new arrival of Jack Thomas Rauckman. Born Aug. 20 @ 9:31 p.m. 9lbs. 50z. 20 1/2 in. Both mom and baby are doing well. Jack had a difficult time entering the world. 17 hours of labor, 3 hours of pushing. I ended up having an assisted vacuum delivery. Thank God that worked, otherwise the next step would have been a c-section. I guess I really know how to grow my babies big! Anyway, all was worth it and Jack is pefect. Big Brother Jonah loves his new brother. He's always kissing him and saying how cute he is. I can't believe I'm the mother of 2 boys. We are so blessed!

Baby update

Well, tomorrow I will be 38 weeks pregnant. I had a Dr. appt. today. I'm only dialated to 1 1/2 and 50% effaced. The baby is still really up high, I haven't dropped. I have an ultrasound scheduled for next monday. I also scheduled my induction date for Aug. 21st. Hopefully I'll go before that, but at least there is an end in sight. The Dr. thinks the baby is quite large, so pray it's not too enormous for my sake! I'll keep you updated.
