Tyler's first few days




I am new to blogging so this may not be very organized but I love reading Kelly's so I thought I'd give it a try. Tyler John was born Sept. 12th at 4:35 p.m. and he weighed 3lbs. 12oz., 17 inches long. My water broke on the 9th at 4 am, very strange feeling if you've never been through it, I thought I wet the bed. I did some laundry and packed the baby's bag while John frantically put the car seat in the car. Tyler was only 31 weeks so we thought we had alittle more time. We got to the hospital about 6 am, the doctor put me on magnesium which makes you feel like you have the flu plus a stomach virus, but this bought Tyler some time so his lungs could mature. When they took me off that awful medicine I went into labor 12 hours later, after 3 hours of contractions, the doctor decided on a C-section and I gladly agreed. Tyler is doing very well, he is 9 days old, eating and breathing on his own and he is ready to move up to the "feed and grow" area. He is eating 8 oz a day. I couldn't be happier. I want to thank all of my family: Maw, Kevin, Kelly, and Klayton for all your support and coming to visit especially the "surprise" visit. Suzanne, Mimi, Popo, Dean and Zachie for all your support and always checking up on us. Nicole, Jacob, Annette and Charlie for coming down to visit and see Tyler. Dad and Renee for calling me to make sure everything was ok. Aunt Marion for the support as well. All the gifts have been great and I will keep blogging.
