On May 13th, we welcomed the newest member of our family :) Tanner Owen. He weighed 8lbs 8ozs and was 21 1/2 inches long. We had planned on doing natural childbirth although we were being induced because of his size. We went in at 12:05am Thursday morning and they started the pitocin. I labored naturally for over 16hours, I was doing so good! My contractions were 1-11/2 mins apart and looked like rocky mountain peaks on the monitor but I hadn't progressed. I knew I was going to have to have a c-section so I went ahead and got an epidural and after 19 hours Tanner was born. :) He came out screaming, they could hear him through the operating room doors so needless to say he has a set of lungs!
Parenthood is something that noone can ever express in words. There is such a flood of emotions that comes with this new chapter in life ranging from unexplainable joy to sometimes feeling just plain overwhelmed but I wouldn't change it for the world. Being a mother is amazing and I feel truly blessed that God has given us this amazing miracle of life!
Here are a few pictures of our new little guy, I'm in love! :)
