Our little boy
has finally arrived. He was born on his due date (September 14th.)
We are so excited to have him in our family, and what a joy he has
brought to us. Travis' mom was nice enough to come stay with us, and will
be here a couple more weeks helping out. Here is how the last couple of
days have gone:
Sept 13th:
7:00 p.m. started having really
bad contractions
9:00 p.m. contractions were close
enough together so headed to hospital
10:00 p.m. dilated to a
3. Had to be at least a 4 before they would admit me. Had to walk
for an hour.
11:00 p.m.dilated to a 3.5.
Having worse contractions, couldn't walk another hour. They had me
lay in bed for 45 min to monitor baby.
11:45 p.m. dilated to a 4.5
(officially admitted)
Sept 14th:
1:30 a.m. finally time for an
epidural. He hit a blood vessel, so had to do it again.
5:00 a.m. water breaks, dilated
to a 6
10:16 a.m. Peyton James Robison
is born!!! Weighing 9 lbs 7 oz and 21
inches long.
Once it was time to push, he came
really really fast. I had about four rounds and have to say it was pretty
painful. Once he was out I was so relieved, but come to find out he had
hung himself on the umbilical cord. The nurses just smiled at me
when I asked how he was. My mom said the doctor was
really concerned when he saw the head. He wasn't sure how I was
going to get his shoulders through. The doctor kept yelling at me
"get mad, get mad," if I hadn't had him out when I did, we're not
sure if he would've made it or not. I am so thankful that I had such an
amazing doctor and nurses that were able to act on their feet. I can't
imagine not having him, and makes me appreciate and love him that much more!
The poor little guy has a big bruise from his nose to the top of his
head, and some swelling. He is doing amazing now, and such a joy to have.
We were a little worried to have
Makenna come to the hospital, because we weren't sure how she would behave.
She was so excited when she walked in the door, and was on her best
behavior. She wanted to hold him, so we let her. She just smiled at him
and gave him lots of kisses. She would smile and say "Peyton
mommy." I had her sit on the bed with me, so we could have some time
together, and she put a pillow on my belly and said "baby in mommies
tummy." We all had to giggle at that. When it was time to go
home (15th) they came down again with the car. Travis was putting Peyton
in the car seat, and he started crying. Kenna yells "DAD!! Baby crying, he
otay?" On the way home he fussed a little so she sang him her abcs
and read him the 3 Little Pigs. She has been an AMAZING helper, and has
loved having him home with us. We took a ton of pictures, and I just
couldn't decide which ones I wanted to leave out, so I decided I'd use all of
them :).





Sure love that sweet, little man already. Thank you so much for letting me be a part of such a special moment. Love you guys. He is lucky to have been born to such a great family. My girls are already throwing fits over his pictures and can't wait to meet him!
