Tyson Denver Spencer

I have to say each baby I have had has been a different experience. Even though I have been induced with each one. I went in on the morning of the 27th of Dec. They got me all hooked up and tried to break my water but couldn't. So we waited... about noon the dr came over and broke my water, by 1 pm I had my epidural.. It did make me kinda sick but not as sick as when I had Roni (thank goodness) they low dosed my epidural since it made me so sick last time.. The bad part about that was that by the time I was at an 8 I could feel everything. Tyson was born about 5 pm, and thankfully I had him here in 2 pushes.. which hurt o so very bad it is a blessing I didn't have to push long... Tyson was my BIGGEST baby by far.. Ammon was my second Biggest a 6 lbs 14 oz but Tyson was a whopping 8 lbs 2 oz I could not believe how big he was! Whew! Upon arrival he cried and cried and cried, when they took him to the nurshery he wasn't breathing well so the had to hook him to the machine to help him breathe for awhile. In the meantime I was able to get up and walk and get in a wheel chair to go to mother baby unit. ( Very strange considering that with all my other babies I haven't had feeling in my lower half and usually go down on a gurney and have to be rolled to my bed.) I was told about the breathing machine as we got to my room and we decided to go sit with Ty in the nurshery. That too was a new experience for me. After a couple of hours breathing and being bathed he finlly was ok enough to come be with me in our room. I was exhausted and hungry. But after some pain meds and food and feeding Ty all was well. He did have Jandice and had to do the billi lights, that was a pain but he is finally do really well and at his 2 wk check up weighed in a 8lbs 9 oz.

This has been a big adjustment for our family. But I think over all we are doing really well. It's only gotta get better from here the bigger the kids get. We are really happy to have Ty in our family even though I wasn't planning his arrival quite so soon after having Roni. I guess he had other plans though :)
