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.

That's good everything turned out ok. I cant imagine a 30hr labor...i would have siad C-Cection pleeese, about 10 hrs into it :)...I'm a whimp. She is darling.
So glad to hear everything is ok. What a good sister you are to be there and help your sister. I'm sure you two will depend on each other so much. Thank goodness for sisters.
Danielle, you made me cry. She is beautiful. I'm glad you were able to be there with your sister. That is really neat.
Tell your sis congrats! Her weight and height are exactly the same as Trevor was. I bet that was a neat experience for you. She is a beautiful little girl! I really can't believe she had to push for so long. Poor girl, but great to get her here safely!
How neat that you could be there with your sister and welcome your new niece into the world. I'm glad everything turned out ok. She is beautiful!
What a sweet baby. I hope mom and baby get better soon!
And I have to tell you, I just cried my eyes out when I read what you wrote at the end. I bet that's exactly what it was. Your mom had to get a few extra hugs and kisses in before she sent Jade down to you all.
The pictures hardly do her justice! She is seriously so cute!!!! Thanks for letting me come and see her- I too almost want another baby! I'm so glad they are both healthy!
Wow I'm glad both mom and baby are ok. Tell Whitnee congrats!
Congratulations! Wow! Poor girl. It is amazing what we are willing to sacrifice to get these precious angels here. She is a beautiful baby! I know your mom must be so proud of the both of you!
Wow! Sounds exhausting but I am so glad that they are both ok! What a beautiful little girl! Tell Whit congrats for me!
Yikes! This post made me so scared! I am seriously so nervous this time around...and I don't know why. I'm so glad this story has a happy ending and that she is doing well now!
