Our little man is a week and a half old, so I figured I should blog about him. By blogging I mean I will add a bunch of pictures and a few details in between. I am, after all, exhausted and on a bit of a time restraint :)
I was scheduled to have a c-section on July 29th, three days past my due date, if I didn't go into labor before that. I really wanted to have another vbac, so I was getting a bit antsy for this guy to come (that and the week of 90 degree weather we had been having!)
I woke up around 5 Monday morning thinking another night had gone by without this baby coming (I had been really uncomfortable and showing signs of labor for a week). My next thought was I think that was a contraction! Sure enough. Luckily I knew enough to have Hans call my mom right away while I called the doctor. We made it into the hospital around 5:50 and two hours later I had delivered this beautiful baby boy.
Ryder Elisha Lehman born on July 22 at 7:50 AM , 6 lbs, 6.9 oz and 20 3/4 inches
His daddy is so proud of him and I am so blessed to have this guy father my children and labor with me!
My mom had our girls for two days while we had to wait in the hospital. She is such a blessing. And it was so nice my dad was able to come in first thing to see Ryder before he had to head back out on his truck.
The girls were really excited to see Ryder and it has been so fun to watch them love on their baby brother since.
Finally! He was worth the wait.

Sweet little sleeper - He seems like a pretty content baby so far
