Boy Oh Boy!

Well, I had the baby! Here's a brief synopsis. I was scheduled for a C-section today (the 25th), but the baby decided he had a plan of his own and I went into labor on Saturday the 21st. I was sorta hoping that contractions would stop so that my own doctor would deliver (not the on-call Dr.), but contractions didn't stop! Erick and I went to the hospital around 6:30 and the baby was born (via c-section) at 8:13 p.m.

He weighed 8 lbs 2 oz and was 21" long. He is healthy and so beautiful! I just love brand new babies! I came home from the hospital on Monday afternoon and things have been going well so far. I feel great, and the baby is doing well too. He is so easy going! In fact, last night he slept for 5 hours! Hooray!


Maybe you noticed that I keep referring to the baby as 'baby'. That's because we had THE hardest time deciding a name for the little fellow! We had a list of about 11 names when we went to the hospital, but none of them really seemed to fit him. So, we left the hospital without a name and just decided on one Tuesday. Drum roll please.......





Ryan Sawyer Johnson
