And The Journey Begins...: Welcome to the world Ryland Jax!

Funny how things work out...I had my c-section scheduled for Monday August 1st. We were to check into the hospital @ 4:30am and my surgery would start at 6:30am. We picked my parents up from the airport on Sunday morning, took them to breakfast and then went to run some last minute errands. After we ate an early dinner (because I couldn't eat or drink anything after 7pm due to my anesthesia coming up so early in the morning), we headed home so Sean and I could pack the hospital bag and relax a little before calling it a night. Sean and I went up into the media room, mom was in the bedroom watching her show and dad was downstairs on the couch watching a movie. I sat down ready to watch True Blood, when I felt a sharp pain. I must have made a noise, because Sean looked at me and asked what was wrong? I went to stand up and that is when it happened...my water broke! Well, I thought I was just peeing in my pants, but then it wouldn't stop so I knew that it was a little more than a kick to the bladder. I screamed for my mom and Sean started running around the house and throwing everything in the car. We called the on-call doctor and she said to go to the hospital since Ryland was breech. Sean flew down the highway (with my parents trying to follow behind us) and we made it to the hospital in record time. We got all checked in and they started my IV and blood work while we waited on my doctor to call. Doctor Allen arrived around 10:00pm and my little boy was born at 10:44pm! Now that is what I call a fast delivery! Sean did such a good job keeping me calm during surgery and when we were done we were greeted in recovery by my parents and our friends Ashley and Rob (who called their babysitter to come watch their kids so they could be at the hospital to help us welcome Ry!) Words cannot describe the love I felt the moment I saw my little boy for the first time! Sean and I feel very blessed to have Ryland in our lives...we are a complete family of three now!
