Proud to announce...

Baby BOY....
Rylan Donald Recker
Born at 9:47 am 7.23.09
7lbs. 15.5oz.
20.5 inches

Jamie went in to be induced this morning after meeting with the doctor yesterday and the doctor expressing some concerns that the baby was getting too big. Jamie and Keith were there by 6am and after starting some meds they could tell the baby wasn't going to handle the contractions well. Its heart rate would drop and then take too long to recover, plus a look at the placenta showed it was deteriorating and not supplying enough oxygen to the baby. So with all that going on, a c-section was in order. Enjoy the pictures of our newest wonder!

I have to make note how Kezzie reacted since in a few short months we will be bringing home our own bundle of joy...We walked in and there were a couple nurses present monitoring Jamie. I think that kind of scared Kezzie but mostly I think her reaction came if the baby and Jamie were in view. She was a shaking mess. I was holding her the whole time and trying to get her up close to see the baby and her whole body would shake the minute Jamie and the baby were in sight. I don't know if she didn't like seeing Jamie in the hospital bed or if she was anxious about seeing the baby, but it took her a long time to warm up. If I was standing, she would immediately start saying "chair, chair" to get me to sit back down with her and when I would sit she would then bury her head on my shoulder and just lay there. Regardless of what the reasoning was behind it, I was shocked at her reaction! I think she is over it now since ALL she is talking about is "baby, mamie (Jamie) and Keith"!
