Livin in the Hospital…

      

Since Jess had a C-Section, we had to stay in the hospital for four days to help with her recovery.  Unfortunately Aaron could not go visit in the hospital because of the H1N1 concerns, so Jess and Aaron did not see each other for four days.  I would pick up Aaron from daycare after work, have dinner with him, and put him to bed, while Mom would go see Jess at the hospital and help out with Tyler. 

Before I jump into the hospital pics…

This was taken 10 days before Tyler was born…this is my only prego pose of Jess that I took over Tyler’s entire pregnancy (I took a ton over Aaron’s pregnancy)…let the spoiling begin…

I figured I would put one in of Aaron as well…this was taken the day before Tyler was born…proud of the zoo he made…

I cannot forget about our low man on the totem pole…no not me…although I am second to last now…

He takes it all in stride…

Luckily Shell got him this toy or he would have been really bored…

Tyler sleeping like a champ…for now…

Holding hands…Tyler definitely had dryer skin than Aaron when he was born…

Nice shot of Mom and Baby…

Snoozing…Jess learned from last time to bring ear plugs…they came in VERY handy.

We would have a hard time waking Tyler for his feedings, so I would use the time to get some photos while I had a willing participant…

They put 3 bracelets on Tyler for ID purposes…you would think that sounds like overkill, but a couple of times they would slip off him because he was so scrawny.

Fooling about us about how peaceful he is going to be…

Chowing down…

Man even as a baby I think his eyes are bigger than mine…

My swaddling skillz come back like they never left me…

Shell and Cory come by to visit…

Kristina comes by for a visit…

Ready for the trip home…

Tyler Born!

Watching the Winter Olympics in the living room minding my own business, and then Jess says "Honey, I think my water broke"...it was 10:25pm.  Thank God that Jess' parents were with us, so Grandpa stayed at home and Jess, Grandma, and myself head on out to the hospital.

For those that did not know, the baby up to this point has been breech...which basically means the head is up instead of down, which means that a C-Section is needed.  We were actually scheduled to do a second external inversion with the Doctor the next day to try and get the baby to turn, but obviously the baby had it's own schedule.
We get to the hospital and Shell comes in right after us.

Doing the final ultrasound to make sure the baby is still breech...

Jess was starting to feel contractions, but they were in the early phases, so they were not too bad (real easy for me to say =) Initially it looked as though we were going to go into the surgery at 3am, but luckily we were able to go in around 1am for the surgery.


We say a prayer before we get ready for the surgery....


Heading out to the surgery...

I had to wait out in the hall as they prep Jess for the C-Section in the Surgery Room....seemed like a eternity.  While I was waiting outside, they give her a Spinal (yes it is as bad as it sounds)...she had a bad experience with the epidural last time, so we were expecting a similar experience, luckily things went MUCH better this time!

They call me in.  I sit behind the curtain...when I come in, I am too chicken to see what they are planning to do…so I quickly get behind the curtain, and they have me sit in a chair.


What's going on back there?

Jess feels some tugging and pushing, and BAM we hear some crying...luckily I was able to get the next shot...


Tyler's first pic… 

We did not want to know the sex of the baby until delivery, so even though this was a "surprise"  we both really thought that it would be a boy (based on the same things that Jess went through in with Aaron's pregnancy.)  Tyler was born on 1:47am at 6 lbs 15 oz!


Tyler burrito...


Every time a new baby is born, the dad gets to push a button in the nursery and it plays "Rock A Bye Baby" throughout the delivery section in the hospital...this was my turn...


First family shot...


Not happy about getting cleaned up...


Grandma happily jumping at the chance to hold Tyler...
