Well, we thought she might come early, but Jill's body decided Brooke should make an early appearance on earth! Jackson is now a big brother.
On Tuesday, Jill went to one of her many doctor appointments, but her blood pressure was high and they found that she was developing toxemia. She was admitted to the hospital while her husband frantically tried to get stuff so Jackson could stay at Grandma's, Shadow could stay with Charlie/Baxter/Maxie and Jill could have some clothes and a toothbrush!
After lots of drugs trying to induce Jill into labor and LOTS and LOTS of waiting, we finally got to have a C-Section. Brooke was born on Wednesday, November 5, 2008 at 4:28pm. She was 4lbs. 11 oz. and 17.5 inches long. She was just about 4 weeks early.
Jill is doing great and recovering quickly. Brooke is in the NICU, but was taken off oxygen, is eating bottles (although she gets most of her food from the IV and is working on holding her own body temperature. We love her lots and can't wait to bring her home!

Jill is ready to be done, but the little bun doesn't want out of the oven!
