Waking up
My little guy
Proud mommy and daddy

Ryder decided he didn't want to live in mommy's tummy any longer and joined us July 27, 2009 at 7:02 am. He is 2 months early and weighed 4 lbs 3 oz and was 17 inches long. It all started at around 12:30 am Monday morn I though it was just my normal back pain that I always get so I just kept holding it off. Finally the front pain started coming on with the back pain and I still wasn't sure what it was. Around 4:30 am Clayton heard my throwing up and crying and said we were going to the hospital. We left at almost 5 and got to the hospital shortly after. I got there and they asked what was going on and then got me on a bed and checked me and the nurse is like your dilated to a 9 we're having a baby. I just remember the look on Clayts face when she said that he was so scared he's like it's too early isn't it? They are like yes but we're having this baby. They called the life flight team and my Dr and they both got there right away. My Dr broke my water at 6:30 am and he was born at 7:02 am. The life flight/preemie team took him from me as soon as Clayt cut his cord. They worked on him in the room for a little while and then let me see him again and took him into the nursery. Clayt was in there with him the whole time and a few hours later they had him stabled and brought him in to see me one last time before they Ambulance him to the IMC in Murray. He was on a ventilator for about the first 3 hours of his life and then they moved him to oxygen cause he was doing so well. Around 8 that night they took him completely off oxygen and was breathing on his own. He is such a strong boy. Yesterday I got released from the hospital and was finally able to see my baby boy. We got to finally hold him and he's so little and precious I love him so much it was so hard to leave not knowing he wasn't coming home with me. Clayton got to care for him yesterday and changed his diaper for the first time and got to take his temperature it was so cute to watch. He is still breathing on his own breathing the air we do witch is so awesome he's doing so good. They tell us he could be in there until his normal due date Sept 23 but since he's doing so good it could just be 3-4 more weeks but we will see. I'm just glad he's as healthy as he is and doing so good. I don't want him to come home until he is ready even tho we would love to have him home now :) Well that's all for now I will keep this updated as time goes on. Thank you everyone for your prayers and comfort we couldn't do it alone. We love you all.
