Baby Ryder is born!

Went in at 1 AM to be induced.  I "woke up" at 4:30 with horrible contractions lasting 2 minutes long.  Also my water broke! Yay!  Jimmy was asleep while all of this was happening.  I told him, "thanks for sleeping through the hardest part of this."  Haha.  On my bracelet it said 30Y  and I thought it stood for 3-OY!  or maybe I was having a BOY and part of the "B" was missing.





Ooohh!  another contraction.  haha

7AM  5cm dilated 80% effaced stationed at -1.  And it's epidural time!  :)





Kim walked in at 9:25AM.  I was telling her about Caden's birth and how the doctor woke up me to tell me that the baby was coming out.  As I was telling her this, my doctor was checking me for any progress.  He said, "Well the same thing in happening.  Are you ready to have this baby?  Bc it's go time!"  Oh GEEZ!  My body started to shake uncontrollably.  The nurse said that is part of labor.  I just figured it was because I was anxious & nervous that this was happening!!!!


I pushed through 3 contractions and 20 minutes later:









Ryder Hudson was born!
