Layton is here!

We are so excited that our little guy has joined us! Surprisingly, Monday morning I went into labor on my own and did not need to be induced. We went to the hospital around 8am only to get sent back home by 10 because I was not progressing enough to be able to stay. Around 2pm the contractions were getting stronger and I could hardly walk, so we went back to the hospital and I told them that I was not going home without having a baby!

The contractions got stronger and more painful until about 4cm when I got my epidural. Before the epidural I was given a pain killer, and even though it was hardly working I guess I was saying some pretty hilarious stuff! They told me that I was finally ready to push around 1am and after some hard pushing and good luck Layton was born at 3:03am on Tuesday, June 28. He weighed 6lbs 8oz and was 20 inches long.

He did have to go down to the NICU to get checked out and make sure everything was OK. Bryce got to go with him and stayed the whole time. After everything was said and done we were so excited to have our baby boy in the room with us. We stayed up all night and stared at him and talked about how wonderful our lives were going to be as a family of 3.

We spent the the next day in the hospital until it was time to go home! We were so excited and nervous at the same time... We knew that the party had finally begun! =)
