On September 6, 2009, around 4:30 am I woke up with strong contractions. I didn't think much of it and tried to breath through them. When they continued I woke Brad up and asked him if I could just hold his hand. I decided I better go to the bathroom. While in the bathroom my water broke, lucky me. We got our things together and left for the hospital. After checking in and getting settled we started the process of waiting. My mom came to show her support. I remember that Hook was playing on the TV. At 10 they put me on pitocin to see if it would help dialate faster and it did. Around 2 pm I started to push. Dr Carn came and told us that he was face up and kept trying to turn him while I pushed. However, he was stubborn and would pop right back up to face up. After 2 long hours of pushing Ryker Gadd Stapley was born at 4 pm. He weighed 7lbs 8oz and was 21 inches long.
He is our pride and joy and always amazes me at how fast he changes. Here are a few pictures of him
