He’s Here!!!

<p>Sunday was a BIG day!! Kyle and I went to church, but Wendi decided to stay home. She wasn’t feeling the best. </p> <p>After church Kyle and I went out to eat with his family….the <em>dreaded buffet</em>! Never fear though…I was good! My first plate with veggies, fruit, & cottage cheese. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHzyrVS29XVoNJhXxvM1Oc7m1e8Sx09KYcmHr8S3cxSKdjRGErL45OzMS2_dDmuMPf21s2LxB54XdMS9Z6Ol0WuUth8fUdyLA_zlesL4XxTRpAIuA85FdEsRwXtSXlfLAFdflGKvlq4oHq/s1600-h/DSC08502%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC08502" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi01vOG1xGdPhfcWY8Pi8j444EcmNITj8ngQZzHtXbJcV68ySvypql0fJwgghwxI6jGn54i6CL6janWP8xUKD0eegz-egML76qWwTAAduHCjnnF8soEvqCjBAh2xFwtpWBFbZbABRZ1Y9Zc/?imgmax=800" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-bottom: 0px" title="DSC08502" width="404" /></a></p> <p>My second plate was a little lighter….and I <strong><u>shoveled</u></strong> it in because Wendi called and really wasn’t feel well.

The key thing I heard when she was explaining how she was feeling was that it was coming & going. Instantly I thought she was having <strong><u>contractions</u></strong>. She wasn’t sure though, so we timed them, and they were about 3 minutes apart lasting about 45 seconds. </p> <p>Wendi was worried she would get there and they would say it’s <em>false labor</em> & send her home. Kyle finally said Wendi didn’t have a choice and we were going to go to the hospital, at least to get checked out to see what was going on. </p> <p>We got to the hospital and the nurse said <em>“You’re having a baby today!” </em>Wendi was dilated to 7cm and 80% effaced!</p> <p>We made the calls and my Mom and 2 other sisters rushed to the hospital. Wendi wanted us all be with her during the delivery!</p> <p>I couldn’t believe how far along she was and how incredibly well she was doing. She decided to get her epidural to get her relaxed and it did just that!<a><img alt="DSC08511" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFX1kH4_YpXDzZKa88yzJ3O6HPxbu9KTowBuUnDs3lDNQRMLWD59fsdVHMoX3oyV9yJYpm_b4lCApVnDA7YFHnXniFfjdyLfnx7kSyjZxUaeVDYKp7GijKZ_GThCIc3WkPymg9jE4qvn-p/?imgmax=800" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-bottom: 0px" title="DSC08511" width="404" /></a></p> <p>Wendi’s nurse decided she thought Wendi should have her baby for the shift change!

I went down to the cafeteria and got some supper.

So 2 of my sisters held one of Wendi’s legs and I was up by her head. My job was to count to 10 each time she had to push. </p> <p>The dr kept telling me to slow down with my counting, but it was so hard because I was focused on Wendi and I could see the pain in her face with each push. </p> <p>I have come the conclusion that Wendi is the strongest one of us sisters! She was so tough and strong throughout the entire process. </p> <p>Wendi only had to push for less than an hour and at 11:27pm he was born! She did SO incredibly well!! It was such an amazing experience and I’m so glad Wendi had me be a part of it. </p> <p>He is absolutely perfect!<img alt="DSC08535" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0DIR36rpsG-Ou_GlOMVVCCz-nZENBGJ771eb9FtpPLnUWwLoi3Xxz0fiaaAhLmC25faOglm5qim-mkRcaN2KJpxb-ZxsZUwpGwzBItOt6dggtHcJDArflBmbtYSmiWNVui08aT6AVvqke/?imgmax=800" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-bottom: 0px" title="DSC08535" width="404" /></p> <p>He measured 20 1/2” long!<img alt="DSC08538" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPq4qxSCq_bgBaNcfQ4xUT2IZZFZHyhcTV50HzspvkOcj4jvncyUKKhO1OMXTSJdelO8dZ11rKaQmt-LXrVg1oXSgO97u09gloAV-R9cQNKfb5Ubr60SzlaUeMj_AgPIzFOMynOG9ZY_lz/?imgmax=800" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-bottom: 0px" title="DSC08538" width="404" /></p> <p>He weighed 8lbs 10 3/4 oz and has a full head of beautiful dark hair! <img alt="DSC08539" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgObAyYwx_JB7Tib8IiHZZX5wFJiu7-8IE5KxB1w5Le7U7fY19PQXIKyTzfFeUZ_5XAnrFyfXLJBhnHQRGnWaYWzwIHxvVnl2YvLTsf1KZFkYwX2VYVJF-cr9qDNKLUOeE02WFnwHQLIuyX/?imgmax=800" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-bottom: 0px" title="DSC08539" width="404" /></p> <p>He wasn’t breathing right when he was first born, so Wendi didn’t get to hold him for about 3 hours.<img alt="DSC08540" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgX-NIHzTAAQ_ybCXCgLao1ZHkY1PymOG1oWh2H-8T-JT4nSvBz3fnrzPBpknTERS4ZT9A3onOconZFRqLIcFdYYTWy4OPKtTlk82n1uvYCcFOE2Jfdql3Jh6HkoSFlLHctUxBozE-DObpm/?imgmax=800" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-bottom: 0px" title="DSC08540" width="404" /> </p> <p>They said he must have got a lot of fluid in his lungs and he was breathing too fast. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUSlUdgzxjnFUfffnkPSLDFYC5FmquQAhNoQDxL433QlWZ-QGCpFIpJ2_BcgZ0bV324Ke9KjuYawge-IhgE6FTtQY61Wu3PjMrWW3CniDQBRRarj50VDl0zgz4ebrlgD05-ZG51ukq0TwZ/s1600-h/DSC08530%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC08530" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh68gFK5O23tcqZTZJq00htSdOVQ5eIaIix-Iuj7KwpBCYDoBs7HMdulfBtLT1SyNqthkf1WUrhP1_vRO6spDe-kurTn2_3cpCMuEATf9wiz7QQoa2tM_BUVEYAMf6fja88QHUkTR0BSrhL/?imgmax=800" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-bottom: 0px" title="DSC08530" width="404" /></a></p> <p>By this time it was after 1am and everyone was worn out!
