Jared, Amber and Kyler

Kyler is here!... well has been here :)

New Years resolution be a better blogger... but a little over a month ago our sweet baby came into this world! i already cant believe its been over a month. He is such a joy and we just love everything about him! So before i forget i wanted to get his birth story on here for all those who have been asking! So i went to the doctors on Tuesday and the doctor told me to plan on being pregnant for the next week even though i was already 3 days overdue because he didn't think i would be back to see him, i was so upset! My mom was here and we had been walking like crazy and trying all the tricks you know eating spicy food, black licorice everything but he was just being stubborn! Well we continued to walk and Thursday night while decorating our tree i started having contractions i was actually excited until they started getting really bad then i was done. haha. Jared was timing them and once i had them every 2-3 minutes for 3 hours it was off the hospital and in my mind i was already dying how it was going to get worse amazed me! well we checked in and i was only dilated to 1.5 but the nurse told me that my contractions were so strong so she didn't think we would be leaving. Well an hour later i hadn't changed so the nurse felt bad cause she saw how strong my contractions were so she stripped my membranes trying to get me to progress an hours later still nothing... i wanted to cry. so she said lets try it one more time and if it still hadn't change they would send me home with a shot of morphine. I did not want that.. so she tried again and in the process broke my water on accident! which was great cause then i was admitted and i was allowed to get the epidural! i was in labor for 16 hours and my amazing husband and mom were right by my side the whole time. Kyler finally decided he was ready to come the next morning at 10:25 am!! It was so amazing and we just love him!

He had to go to the NICU for a couple hours which was hard beacuse i didnt even get to hold him but we wanted to make sure he was ok. He had a hard time breathing. The doctor told us since he was so big that when he came out it was like he got the wind knocked out of him.

5 long hours later he was able to come back! i am so grateful jared was able to be with him the whole time.

So glad Jared was there to support me and help me through all this!

My mom was the best i am so grateful and happy she was able to be there!
