He Is Here!





At 5:55 p.m. on Saturday, July 17th, baby "Tyler" has arrived. He weighs 8 lbs 1 oz, is 20.5 inches long, and was delivered by c-section. As you might know, Michelle went in for an induction on Thursday night. She was given Cervidil all night long, and put on pitocin all day Friday, but the contractions would not come. Friday night we began the Cervidil again, and continued with Pitocin for most of the day on Saturday. By 4:00 p.m. we decided to call it and go for the c-section.

We later found out that the baby was "sunny-side up" and stuck in the birth canal. If you take a good look, you can see he has a pretty good sized "cone head." I'm sure Michelle will want to blog much more on this, but I wanted to send out the update.
