Welcome Ryan Joshua!



He's here! Born 5/13/09 at 8:41pm via c-section.

I did go to the hospital yesterday, thinking that they would just send me home after they monitored me.

I was having contractions, but very strange ones. So, they had me on the monitors for a while and at some point, his heart rate started to drop during a contraction and then come back up. The doctor was concerned, because this really seemed like a cord issue, as apposed to a placental issue. So, the best course of action was to just deliver him.

So, into the OR I went, which was very weird -- I felt like a science experiment, all the way.

More later...

CUTE!!! YAY! I'm so happy you finally HAD HIM! Ha, I felt so bad for you having to hang in there so long! How are YOU feeling?? Are you super sore from the C-section? Or in such baby bliss that you don't notice?

CONGRATS to you and Jake! Couldn't be happier for you!
