Shane has arrived!!!

Shane made his apperance on August 2nd at 7:02 am!! To start the story, but keep it short. I had a dr's appointment Wednesday morning the 1st, and everything went well, except dr was concerned about my weight, and my belly measurement. She suggested I have an ultrasound done that day. They called down to the department and got me scheduled for 1:30 later that day. I went home and took it easy, didn't do too much, its way to hot!! I went bck at 1:30 for the ultrasound, and they can't tell you anything. The techs read the results, and tell your dr. Well after the ultrasound they told me I was all set to go home. I was about 5 minutes from my house and my cell phone rang, it was my dr. She was upset that they sent me home. She said she told the tech to get the results over to her asap, she was going to view them and then talk to me. Well my amniotic fluid was VERY low.. so they told me to get my stuff packed and get back to the hospital. I didnt go back until 4:30. I was very nervous knowing I was going to have the baby very soon. They were so busy in labor and delivery, seemed to be everyone was having babies when I was getting there. By the time the lab came and drew blood, and they got my IV started, along with paper work etc.. it was close to 8:00.

Now let me tell you a little secret.. Ryan is 6th in racing points, and the positions are so close, he couldnt really afford to miss a race.. so he said, he was going to race and he would be there no later then 8.. I kepot my eye on the clock the whole time. I was very nervous, because they said when they break my water it could take 20 minutes, or 2 hrs.. you never know. Well anyways he did arrive, AFTER they broke my water. It was around 8:30.. but he had an excuse.. he won FIRST PLACE!!!!!! FIRST TIME EVER!!!!! I was so happy for him. He was a winner for 2 days, winning the race on the 1st adn his son born on the 2nd.

Anyways back to story. They broke my water at 8:00.. at 9 nothing, 10 nothing, 11 nothing.. you get the point. I ended up falling asleep between them coming in and checking on me. Well guess what.. i woke up it was 6:58am, i screamed "HIS HEADS RIGHT THERE I KNOW IT IS" the nurse looks, sure enough.. his head was there.. i gave good pushes, and out he came, at 7:02am! 6 pounds 10 ounces 19 3/4 inches long. Beautiful baby boy, full head of dark dark hair.. his eyes we are still unsure of. They looked very very dark like mine, but now they might be lighter green like Ryans. Oh and he has dimples like his daddy & big sister.

I still can't believe how fast it happened. I can say this labor was better then Brianna's! I feel excellent, and was ready to go home by that night, but had to wait until the next morning. Everyone is adjusting well, especially Brianna. She will get the hang of it sooner or later. She calls him "bebe" and "hi buddy" or "hi bud" haha! So cute! I will be sure to get pictures downloaded and posted on here for sure, maybe even a few cute videos we have of Brianna meeting her little brother.

By the way, hes a good size baby and still floats in newborn size clothes and newborn diapers, so we are doing the preemie stuff for awhile.. so much different from Brianna... we were lucky that she wore some of her 0-3 month outfits! :)

Good luck to Ryan tonight. His race is at 6:30.. Im staying home with the little ones, and thats what he wants anyways. I have been to every race this season and he never won.. so the one I dont go to.. he wins.. Guess im staying home the last 3!! Bring home another trophy hun!

More updates.. as the days go on.. and be looking for pictures & videos.. !
