Welcome Home Bryce Alan!

 Bryce was a bit bruised when he was born around his nose and mouth.  It healed quite quickly.  By the time he came home, you would have never known he was bruised. 

 Amanda and Kaitlyn's first time to see the baby on Saturday.

 Getting ready to take little Bryce home.

 I think he likes his little bear Aunt Becky gave him.

 First day home.  Dad already had a little nap with him.

 This was a picture, I sent to Roy the day after Bryce was born saying, "Bryce says hi". :)

 Bryce is a week old in this picture.  One of our friends, gave us this little outift.  We had a good laugh.  Bryce is already trying to flex those muscles. :)

Well our little Bryce Alan was born on May 3, 2013 at 8:46 p.m!  He was 7 lbs 14 oz and 20 1/2 inches long. We are so excited to have him here.  It was a long day.  We were at the hospital at 7 a.m. and I was all hooked up at 8 a.m. to be induced.  As the day was going a long I asked for the epidural around 2 p.m. and the doctor put in a high dose right up front.  Well my body didn't like it and my blood pressure dropped really fast.  I was feeling like passing out and felt I could throw up.  They hurried and gave me some medication to bring my blood pressure back up.  They ended up turning the epidural off for about 4 hours.  I was so numb.  I couldn't even move my legs.

As time went on Roy was noticing my contractions were from an 8 to a 2, and notice the pitocin wasn't dripping.  We had the nurse come in and there was an error message on the screen, but it wasn't beeping.  They ended up having to replace the pump.  Also, the contraction monitor wasn't reading correctly and they ended up putting one in internally.  As the day went on not much improvement was happening.  My Dad had showed up to visit a couple of times, which made the time go a lot faster.  Then the third time he stopped by around 8:20 p.m. with my brother, Glen.  I was starting to feel bad...we still hadn't had the baby.  Well, the doctor came in shortly after they arrived, and wanted to check to see how many centimeters I was.  He had the nurses, Roy, and I make a guess.  Then he said I was a 9.  He mentioned they would slowly get things ready to have this baby.  Roy left to tell my Dad and Glen we were going to attempt to have the baby.  Dad mentioned they would wait a bit.  Well, before we knew it after pushing 5-10 minutes...little Bryce was born!  Dad was able to hold the baby after he was dried off.  I was so glad he was able to see him, and be there shortly after he was born.
