Ryan Robert Base was born on April 7, 2014 at 9:12 pm. He weighed 8 lbs 2 oz and was 21 inches long. It was a long day of labor for me and we were so happy when he finally arrived! I am working on writing all the details of the birth so I can remember all the exciting details of the day. The condensed version is that I ended up having a c-section due to his head being face up instead of face down. In the end, Eric and I are just happy that we had a healthy baby boy! The pictures below are from labor up until he was born. Ryan spent his first night in the NICU because his breathing was faster than normal and he had some stress from the long labor.
This is while the epidural was going and I felt good :)
Eric preparing to go to into the operating room once we found out I was having a c-section. I do not look too pleased myself.
He is here!! Getting all checked out as soon as he arrived.
Big, healthy boy!
He doesn't look too sure of what is going on! What is this big scary world I am in?! Poor guy!
Getting to hold my little guy for the first time. Such a whirlwind moment.
The first Base family picture
It was hard to see our baby all strapped up to machines in the NICU. We knew he was in good hands though and was going to be just fine.
After I recovered from surgery, I got to go up and hold him again for a few minutes. It was so hard to leave him that night.
The next morning we went and checked on him and watched the nurse give him his first bath.
I don't think he liked it very much!
Ryan was released from the NICU to us about 4:00 pm on Tuesday afternoon. I am so glad it was not longer than it was. He was doing great on day two and started eating and sleeping like a champ as soon as we got him back. From the moment we saw him, our lives changed forever! My heart was full of love for this little boy who I just met!
