Tyler is Here!

Sorry it has taken me a few days to post this. We've been a little busy. Tyler Oneil Price was born Tuesday, May 27, 2008 at 5:29 pm. He weighed 7 pounds 10 ounces and was 20 1/2 inches long. It was a rough time but I made it through. We went to the hospital at 6am and they started the pitocin by 7:00. My doctor came and broke my water at 7:40 and I started really feeling the contractions by 8:00 and by 9:30 I decided I needed the epidural. I was fully dilated by the time they checked me @ 1:45. Tyler was still pretty high up so I went for another hour having contractions to see if he would drop. At 2:45 the nurse decided that it was time for me to start pushing. I pushed for 2 1/2 hours and she told me that I would probably have to have a cesarean because after 2 hours his head should be right there. My doctor got there at a little after 5:00 and had me push one time. She said that if she used the vacuum she thought we could get him out. Sure enough it worked! The only problem was that his arm came out with his head so I had some tearing. Other than that all was well.
It's such an amazing experience to bring a child into this world. We love our little boy so much. Sometimes I just look at him and don't ever want to put him down. On the other hand, I would like to get a little sleep.
How modest - they even covered him up for his pictures.
I don't know if you can tell, but he has huge feet. :)

What a happy little familyGetting ready to come home. What a cute little boy!
This little boy sleeps ALL DAY. I have a hard time waking him up to eat.
Such a precious little boy. It's amazing to think that five days ago he was inside me. I'm so happy that he has finally joined our family.
