Bryson's Blessing

We decided to bless Bryson on 10/19/10 so both sets of grandparents could be present. Brian did a great job and Bryson did great only with a few cries.

YAY! He's finally here!

Being only 1 day late :) (i'm glad he wasn't cooking any longer! might have been a 10 pounder!)

I was scheduled to be induced Tuesday(10/12/10) at 5am but when I called the hospital to see if they had any rooms available, they had no room. I thought for sure I'd have to wait another day. But the hospital called me back about 8:30 saying they have a room for me and to be there about 10 :) I was excited and nervous at the same time. Reagan hung out with Gma Shauna and the rest of the family  for the few days we spent at the hospital.

They didn't start the induction until about 11:30 and instead of using pitocin, they used some sort of pill that came in 3 doses but I only got 2! Brian and my mom spent the day at the hospital waiting for little Bryson. They finally broke my water about 8pm and then the painful contractions really started to kick in! I decided I should get an IV just in case I changed my mind about not wanting an epidural. I was just finishing the 1st bag of fluid(you needed 2 before an epidural could get started) and it was time to push! I pushed for about 20 min and little Bryson was born :)

He wasn't crying when he came out so they hurried and cut the cord to get him to his table and of course he cries and they are carrying him over :) Brian and my mom were at the scale when they weighed him and when they announced how big he was I thought they were joking! No one was expecting him to be that big.

We are glad he's here and healthy! And Reagan just adores her little brother. Always wanting to hold and kiss him :)

I was so thankful labor was not taken into the middle of the night!
