Well, I am going to attempt to condense Wyatt's story so I don't have a novel on here. On August 15th Jonathan and I decided to take the dogs to the park to let them run around in the creek and because I was feeling REALLY pregnant and needed to get OUT! So, we arrive at the park around 4:30 and start our hike to the creek. About 5 minutes into the walk I already have blisters and decide to just go barefoot. We decided to sit in the creek for 2 hours to just talk and relax while the dogs played, little did we know my water had broken! When we came home we called the doctor and they told us to head to the hospital just make sure I was really in labor. I WAS!!!! They admitted me and that was the beginning of my birth plan being thrown out the window. The plan the whole time was to try and go 'all natural'....hahahahahahahaha!!!! Not happening! They decided to hook me up to pitocin because labor was really progressing and my water had been broken for a while already. My parents came up that evening and stayed with us till a little past midnight I think. So all through the night they are pumping full of fluids and pitocin and I am starting to get more and more unsure of my "all natural" stance! I decided to try an IV of some pain meds....didn't last too long though. Soon I was calling for the epidural....the man that put it in must do it all day long because I never felt a thing! Then he went home and my best friend was on for the rest of my labor...the best little Asian woman you would want to meet:) She became my best friend for the next long hours of labor:) When I would see her I knew life would be good again! By the next afternoon, after having my parents and my wonderful hubby there it was almost time for our little guy to arrive! But, Jonathan's stomach was calling him to Subway...on te other side of the hospital. My mom called him and told him to put the sandwich away and get up here!! Of course, when he really needed to hurry that was when the elevator had to be full AND stop on every floor up to the 5th! In the midst of it all golf was keeping him entertained too:) Around the 17th hole with Tiger Woods behind our little Wyatt James decided to make his entrance into the world along with lots of tears and and sighs of relief on my part:) His cord was around his neck so they had to give him oxygen, but he was perfect in every way!!! He weighted 9 lbs 8 oz and was 22 1/2 inches long (he had a cone head so now he is only 22" inches long). The nurses couldn't get over how long he was! He almost didn't fit on the measuring table!!
What a perfect gift God has given to us!! We couldn't be happier to have our little Wy Wy home and getting to use all his cute little things:) After about 24 hours of labor I thought I would never forget all those long hours, but all it takes is just one look at a miracle such as your own son to look at the future instead of the past and pray that he will be a man after God's own heart. We are so blessed and so thankful for all the prayers and gifts and encouragement during this whole thing...we are blessed beyond measure!! Let the party begin..............
