Kyson's first week!

Lots of visitors this week...

Starting off the week with Aunt Andrea, Aunt Kandis, and Uncle Will staying the night and putting together his favorite thing-his baby papsan swing...

Then this week Mamaw Valene came over to lend a big hand around the house. She took over our laundry and also made the front yard look great... Also, Mamaw Crawford and Papaw came bearing pizza and stayed awhile leaving the fridge stocked. Brandi and new baby Brenden also came for a good visit.

A whole slew of people from ACU came with lots of baby goodies. Then Chief and Carebear came over to stay the night. They tried to spoil him all at once with lots of attention and snuggling. They left us with more food, housework complete and a re-wired house and out building...

Then Aunt Cherl, Amanda, Brandi, Jaedin, and Brenden came to visit too...

Amy Moore came over Sunday morning and fell immediately in love with Ky-Bear...

And this morning we celebrate in a quiet way baby's first birthday-one week old.

What an amazing life changing special week this has been...Thanks to everyone for making it even more special with your time, gifts, effort and support...

What to do with baby...

When my son was born 6 days ago it was as if I was born all over again.

The slogan goes "having a baby changes everything.'

Good. It so needs to be changed.

KYSON IS HERE!

Obviously we were a little off on the whole due date and a little early…

This past Saturday, Wes and I spent the day working in our yard a bit. I thought that my “Braxton Hicks” contractions were a little strong…

Around 10 pm that night, (after going through all my pregnancy guides) I decided to start timing them… I guess around 1:00 am it dawned on me that 11 to 13 contractions per hour was a little suspicious… Then when my water broke at 1:40, I decided to wake Wes and suggest we run to Hendricks for a check…

We arrived at the hospital around 2:20. A really great nurse named Linda put me on a monitor and checked me out. She said that we should plan on staying anyway because the baby was coming. We called our parents, she called my doctor, and I was just fine…

UNTIL…

POTOSIN

They put me on potosin to “speed” it up. Well, let’s just say it was TORTCHER. My natural contractions were completely bearable but these…THESE contractions where like big seething demon hairy evil beastly convulsions in my belly! It hurt WAY more that I was prepared for… AND, then they wouldn’t give me the epidural yet because I was only a 3…

My parents, grandmother, and Wes’s mom showed up about then… Then the nurses and doctors realized that the baby’s heart rate dropped every time I had a contraction…I dipped really low. They ordered the epidural even though I wasn’t a 5 yet. They kept watching until Dr. Daniel came in and said. We are going to have to get that baby out of you now. We are going to have to do a cesarean. The parents are sent away. Wes is the scrubbed in and we all waited on the anesthesiologist. (People were praying for us really hard meanwhile). As soon as he walked in the door, my doctor realized that I was “complete” and that I could deliver. But, no time for an epidural… That’s right. About 5 pushes later, Kyson Wesley is out in the big world. 7:15 in the morning, 5 lbs. 13 oz, and totally healthy.

Yep, he is finally here… And now this blog can be used for its original intended purpose…

To show off my kid… enjoy… more to come later…

Guess what?
