We're seeing blue!

Ty Bringhurst was born 12-18-08 at 10:13 PM.

He weighed 6 lbs 13 oz and measures 20 inches long.

We were induced bright and early Thursday morning, expecting to have our little boy by early afternoon. Our plans, however, did not go as we thought. After laboring for 12 hours with an epidural that worked everywhere but in one spot, dialating to a 9.5 and stalling , and the baby was still kicking me in the ribs, meaning he had not dropped a bit, the doctor decided on a c -section. We sure are glad she did because the cord was wrapped around Ty 3 times. The doctor told us that I could have labored for days and he would never have come naturally. We are all doing well. Melissa is sore, tired and in love with her new baby boy, Eric is happy for a boy and can't wait to take him hunting, Olivia is full of kisses for her new baby brother, and Carley is not sure what to think, but will give him a kiss if you ask her to. We are so blessed to be able to raise this little boy and have him for our very own.

PS - Thanks for the pictures Auntie Erin- we stole them off her blog!
