Tyler Jacob arrived on 1/23/04 at 11:07 a.m.!
He was 3.5 wks early but arrived in perfect, healthy condition! He is soooo cute and such a lil' cuddler. I couldn't be happier than I am! He is such a little blessing!

Here's the story....
On 1/20 (Tuesday) I went to the doc and found I was dilated to 4cm. So, they sent me straight over to L&D thinking I would go immed. into labor. Well...I didn't. So, they kept me overnight and didn't want to induce since I was only 36wks + 1 day) So, on Wed. morning they sent us home (still taking terbutaline until I hit 37 wks) and told me to call if anything changed.
On Thursday I started to feel REALLY crampy and tons of pressure, so I called the doc. I also had some spotting. He told me to come in first thing Friday morning.
Our appt. was at 8:45 and I was at 5cm
so they sent me straight to L&D to break my water. The doc decided the risk of delivering the baby was less than sending me home to end up delivering in the car since my 1st labor was only 2 hours! We live 40 min. away from the hospital.
So, they broke my water at 9:20. Within minutes I was at 6cm and they gave me a bit of pitocin to regulate the contractions. My doc was going into surgery for the rest of the day at 12:00 noon so we were trying to beat his schedule ;-) With the pitocin the cx came on hard and strong but I knew it would be over quickly so I did it again without MEDS!!!!!
I quickly dilated to 9cm and within 10 min of being at 9 I was complete and pushing!! I only pushed for 4 cx and Tyler was born at 11:07 a.m.!!!! My doc had almost 50 minutes to spare before his surgery (hee hee)
It was the most wonderful thing ever! He is so cute and has a full head of strawberry blonde hair (just like my other son, Calbe).
I am having some probs with Carpul Tunnel in my right arm and hoping it goes away soon. Also, can't wait to get back into my workouts but know I need to let my body heal first!
We are all doing great and happy to be home.
Wanted to say thank you to all of your for your support during my pregnancy. I didn't get to workout like I had hoped due to being on bedrest and early restrictions. However, it was all worth it in the end! I look forward to hanging out with you post-pardum!
Love ya!
