Collin Ryan O'Berry is here!

So...here is the brief story of the arrival of Collin. On Wednesday night, August 6th, my parents and sister had come down to help me. I had been scheduled to be induced at the LDS Hospital on Thursday morning at 7, but apparently Collin finally got the message his mommy really didn't want to be induced. So....when my family and Ryan and I went to eat at Applebees, the "real" contractions started. I finally told Ryan, I think I'm having real contractions and he started timing them... and for about an hour I had them about every 5 minutes....so finally my dad and Ryan thought I had better go to the hospital...the new one :)
We did and this first picture of me is getting monitored for the first hour.

It took about 3 hours before I got the epidural and it was not going so well, and then it felt very nice, as you can see by my face.

So..needless to say, after 10 hours of labor, including 2 hours of pushing little Collin Ryan O'Berry arrived at 635 am on Thursday, August 7th. I totally was emotional at his birth and just amazed that my body was able to deliver him okay without an epidural. He was 21 inches long, and looks a lot like his daddy.

Here is me in the middle of the night feeding and playing with mommy. He likes to play during the nighttime.

This was a classic face of when Collin was born...and he still gives it tons. I call it the Ryan look.

I just got my eye drops.

Here I am going home from the hospital.

Crying my eyes out.

We call this one Mr. Froggy.

Sleeping at home.
