Our Little Boy is Here!

Tyson Todd Miller was born at 7:31 pm on December 4th. I wasn't too keen on the idea of having a december baby (no offense to december babies out there) but what can you do? All I know is that I'm excited he's here and that I'm not pregnant anymore. So here's the story if any of you wish to know...
I had my inducment date set on the 4th which I was hoping he would come before. I guess he felt the Rexburg cold against my belly (since I couldn't close any of my coats) and decided to stay in where he was nice and warm. So I started being induced around 9 am and didn't really feel painful contractions until they broke my water at 1pm. It wasn't too long after that when I decided to get an epidural. I highly recommend one to anyone who is going through labor. I hadn't been able to sit in a bed that comfortably in 9 nine months. Anyways, I was in labor for a couple of hours and they had to monitor Tyson pretty closely because his heart rate lowered way down everytime I had a contraction. They tried to do everything, they stoped to drug that was inducing me, they tried to put water back in my uterus but he was still pretty stressed so finally around 7 pm they decided it was probably a knot in his cord so they sent me to get a c-section. It was a good thing too because he ended up being pretty tangled in his cord. It was wrapped around his leg, arm, sholder, and neck. He also had a 15 inch head (most are between 13 and 14) and I'm really glad I didn't have to try and push him out. The nurses said he probably wouldn't have come out naturally anyways. Another reason I'm glad they ended up doing the c-section was because they found a cyst and took it out right then and there. They wouldn't have know it was there if I hadn't had a c-section. Tyson came out perfectly healthy and they brought him out to Todd while I was still being sewn up. I just remember thinking how beautiful he was and how I couldn't believe he was actually mine. Up until then he was just something kicking me from the inside while I tried to sleep. I enjoyed him then but I really enjoy him now and love him. It's amazing how after only a week, he can have such a personality. He is sweet and loves to be held. When he is being held, he doesn't fuss or squirm he just stares at you and Gramma Christensen and I have sworn that we've seen him smile a few times. He really is very pleasant. I wonder how long that will last.
