Tyler Craig made his debut! We're all marveling that he came out of Summer, because he's 8 pounds, 8 ounces, 22 inches long! Summer, weighing in at a buck five pushed him out in only 4 contractions. The whole thing took less than a half hour. Pretty surreal right now.
We didn't even need to turn on the baby warmer because the HVAC on our floor is broken and it was honestly 300 degrees in there. Other funny thing was our OB forgot her glasses so she had to borrow Leigh Ann's.
Summer is truly a tough cookie. She was having contractions since about 3 a.m., and still went in to work for most the day. At 2 or so she finally decided enough was enough and went home. We took her down to the doctor's at 3, and they said she was already dilated to a 5 and her contractions were about 4 or 5 minutes apart, so they sent us right up to the hospital. We ran into the CEO and CNO of my company on the way up, which was funny.
Summer suffered through the epidural and then we watched the monitors for a couple hours. Finally, a replacement OB (Dr. Macy had gone home) came and checked things out and said he was really low and about to pop out - 30 minutes at the most. Sure enough, Dr. Macy came just in time and he popped right out at 9:48.
More about his first bath later...
