Our Baby Boy!!!

Wow, what a ride this past month has been. I am soooo excited to be all done and have my family home with me. This is our beautiful baby boy, Taylor Raymond Lee. Born May 30th 2009 at 1:17 pm. He weighed 9.1 lbs. Yes...big boy. I went into labor while we were at the hospital with Brianna. She had her second surgery on the Thursday May 28th, we stayed over that night and she had to stay friday night as well. That is when the contractions began. I didn't think they were contractions, cause it was all in my back. It hurt so bad, I finally had to wake up Jonathan and have him go get me a hot press, (thankfully we were in a hospital). So once he did, he started counting for me and told me after 20 min, that they were 3 min. apart. So we finally decided to go. We got a wheelchair to roll me down, drove the 2 min, to get to the foothills hospital and went to triage. I had already been twice, bytheway, for false labor, that is why I so didn't want to go until I knew it was it. And it was, they got me my I.V. right away. The contractions were so bad, and the nurse told us it was because he was posterior....meaning face up. And contractions are way worse when that is the case. She suggested a hot shower...well that was heaven sent, I didn't even feel my contractions in there. I never wanted to get out. Anyway...I should make this shorter. I went pretty quick, the epidural was great, even though he had to poke me twice...didn't even feel it. All of a sudden I was 9 cent. and even though I didn't feel any contractoins till then, I started to feel major pressure and pain, and I was ready to push. I pushed for about 25 min. felt absolutly everything...thought I was going to die, and tried to get up and leave! But it was all done real quick, thank heavens, and I had my little boy. The first 2 pictures are the proud daddy and grandma, who were both there with me, and I would not have been able to do it without them. They were sooooo wonderful! Then 2 of the 3 Grandpa's. As some of you know, he had to stay at the hospital for 5 days, cause he had "nemothorax's" which are small air bubbles between the lungs and chest wall. He wasn't breathing very well. There were some other issues as well, that needed to be sorted out. So the other pictures are with his daddy with the IV in his head. Soooo sad, they had to move that one and thy poked him 9 times to get a spot, and it was only in for another couple hours. They also had to shave almost his whole head to do that, when in the end he didn't need it after all. I was livid, I couldn't stop crying. Anyway, not really that important. After is pictures of his big sisters...one stubborn one, one grumpy one. Ahhh the joy, they are sooo funny! Then the big day when we get to go home! I was elated! So happy to have him home. He is just a doll, and I seriously can't get enough of him, I just kiss him all day long. Well sorry that was so long. It has been a long journey. But he is healthy, and Brianna, will hopefully be soon. We just feel so blessed to have this family that we do!
