February 25th… Friday. We decided to get induced… and yes… we didn’t tell a soul… We wanted it to be a secret. Even though everyone knew it was a good possibility we were going to. The Hospital called me at 9:15 and said can you be here by 10. Of course. I was all ready to go!
Birthing story:
We got i there about 10 ish. They got me started on Petocin at 11. Broke my water about 12:30. Got and epidural at 2. Got another dose at about 4. Starting pushing at 4:45 and he was delivered at 5:47. Amazing how fast it went. Because he was in the birth canal for a little while and i was running a little fever (not eating all day and then feeling like i was going to pop my head off by pushing so hard). He came out a little stressed. They gave him a little bit of oxygen at first and said they were going to take him down for about an hour to get more… they were back in 5 min. Guess he didnt need it after all. He was wide awake for a good 2 hours after. They took him to check his vitals and noticed his blood sugar was extremely low. They had to give him an IV (so so sad). And feed that with insulin. Also we had to supplement him with formulas which is another story… it sucked. It was pretty stressful in the hospital. They had us stay another day… which made it hard on me. But luckily the next day we got to take him home and now he is as healthy as a horse! We are so blessed that everything went the way it did. And me and Ryan are so pumped to be parents. Its been a whole week since we have been home & its just going by so so fast. I have already experienced the 1 hour of sleep night… the first night home was the hardest. But were just taking it one day at a time and it seems to get better and better! Ry’s a good little daddy! Its so fun to watch him. He helped me give him a bath the other day and that was fun… (he busted out the blow dryer, sorry only funny if you know the story behind that). Anyways i’ll post more pics soon!
Daddy and Ryker. (he literally came out sucking his fist) what a good baby!
7 pounds 2 ounces & 19.5 inches long. We were so surprised with all the hair he had. He’s got both mine and Ry’s dimples. There adorable! I think for the most part he looks alot like ry. He has my tounge and maybe my eyes and my head shape. He changes every second though.
We love him & are so glad he finally made it here!!!
Heres a few pics from the hospital…

Love the pictures! Especially the ones with your parents. Made me tear up a little remembering when Jordyn was born and when my dad held her for the first time (She is the oldest grandkid and also named after him Jordyn Parley (Neil Parley)). Congrats! Hope everything is going great. And enjoy him. They do grow so so fast.
