The Chiu Bunch: 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...

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!

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...
