Daddy!

Here are a few of the details of Ryan’s birth (without going into too much detail). Labor started after my water broke at about 10:00pm. I went straight into hard labor (sometimes with no breaks in between contracts) after about 3 hours of this I gave in and got the epidural which was probably the best decision I have made in my whole life. The total labor time was 13 hours but with the epidural I was able to rest and even sleep at times. Ryan and I are both healing well now, he has started breast feeding and every time he gets a bit better at it. Grandma, Uncle David and Rachel have all been here to visit and get to know Ryan and he seems to love all of them. He isn’t a huge fan of the pediatricians but that has more to do with the temperature taking and the poking and prodding than anything else. Right now daddy and baby are sleeping in the rocking chair as I blog, very cute. We are heading home Sunday.
