Tyler James

Here it is. My blog. finally.

Tyler James was born October 31st. He weighed 7 lbs 11oz and was 21 inch. . .So yeah, here is how it all started.

I went to my dr's appointment on october 30th. I had a feeling that the 30th would be the day I would have him. A year ago on October 30th I had my little girl Ava. I couldnt decide If having him on that day would be a good thing or a bad thing. I just had a feeling it would happen. sure enough the Dr said I needed to be induced because I developed pre eclamspia. I swelled up, was getting dizzy and seeing black spots, and my blood pressure shot up pretty high. So I got to the hospital and was put on petosin to speed up labor and magnesium to help my blood pressure. The bad thing about the mag is that it is used to stop labor. yeah, that sucked. It made me sick and made me really really hot. And being too hot during labor is the worst. So I dealt with the pain as long as I could, but I was having back labor because the baby was turned the wrong way and stuck. So I got an ITN (like an epidural) but it wore off after and hour. So I got another one and that one wore off in an hour.....And guess where I was at when it wore off...9 cm. So I had to deliver the baby with no medicine and it was not a pretty scene. The baby got stuck and they had to use a vacuum to get him out. But after all the craziness I finally had him. The labor story was so more, but if I put it all in this blog it would go on forever. Just know that it was not a good experience and I really dont want to ever go through that again. Dont get me wrong. It was worth it. But adoption is looking pretty good right now. I cant go through that again.

So the baby got jaundice and had to go back to the hospital and be put under the lights for a couple of days. The first night back at the hospital my pre eclampsia came back and my body started preparing to have seizures. I started shaking and they took me to the ER. I ended up staying in the hospital for almost a week. There was even a point were I didnt get to see the baby for almost 2 days. it was horrible. But we are both better now and home. Thank God!

Tyler finally getting to go home!

I just want to add to this that my Husband Jason was amazing during labor. I would be lost without him.. and He was so great when the baby and I were back in the hospital. he took such great care of us. He is an amazing husband and father. I couldnt ask for more.

the baby is now 3 weeks old now and he very healthy! His skin tone is back to normal. He doesnt look like and Oompa Loompa anymore! He now weighs 9 lbs 4oz and eats a lot!
