He's Here!!!

Rylan is here!!! I wanted to give a quick update between feedings. He born 11/4 at 3:20 pm, 8 lbs 1 oz and 20 inches long. The induction started at about 7:45 am 11/4 when the doctor broke my water and then at about 8 they started the pitocin. I asked and received the epi about 11:25 and was checked shortly after that and had dilated to 4.5cm so we were thinking he would be here around dinner time. Well the doctor came back to check on me at 12:15 and I was 9.5 almost 10 cm. Rylan was still a little high so they let me just labor down till 2:40 at which point the nurse took one leg and James took the other and we started. It was intense but the epi is a wonderful thing. they had me stop pushing at just after 3 so the doctor could come in and set up. We resumed at about 3:10 and at 3:20 he was here. Words can't describe the feelings then or now. James and I both cried. He is just amazing and I can't believe it. James has been beyond wonderful both during delivery and now during recovery. I am so blessed by him, and we are both so blessed with our happy, healthy little boy. We got to go home at 11:30 on Friday. It has been very nice to be back in our own place and Buster is adjusting well to Rylan. I promise to post pictures soon, we haven't had a chance to get through them all yet, but we are all doing well.
