My daughter had her baby!!!!


Talon Jerod Stevenson was born on October 06 at 4.53 am! (i think)

Krystal actually went into labor right at 9.30am on her due date!!!! Unbelievable!!!

I left work for lunch, and got a call from her while at home, that she was at the hospital...

I picked up the girls, and phoned my hubby, and within 15 minutes I was at the hospital..

When I got there she was having a bath to ease the contractions...She had been there an hour or so already because her water had broke..(she thought she had wet herself...and went back to bed...(LOL)

Her contractions were pretty strong right off the bat...and she wasn't dealing too well with them, so by 2PM they gave her an epidural...

I can not BELIEVE how effective it was...within 10 minutes she couldn't feel any pain! Which was good, because she had a long labor.

Both of us were actually able to nod off to sleep for an hour at 2am, but by 3 she was ten centimeters and so the sleeping was over....They cut back her drugs, because she wouldn't push...

Krystal had a bit of a rough delivery, but handled it pretty well...except that she strained all the muscles in her arms during labor, and mine as well.....I had one of her legs......

Baby has a good set of lungs, let me tell you...We heard them after delivery....which was by the way, 19 hours all together. The same as what I had with her.

Talon weighed in at 9 lbs, 2 ounces..no wonder mom had such a rough delivery!

I got to hold him for half an hour after birth....Krystal couldn't mover her arms, and I was more then happy to visit my grandson. (that sounds weird) Jeremy was jealous though, and kept kicking Talon in the back. By the time Kendal and I finally got home and to bed it was 6am. We slept for three hours, had breakfast and then worked all day.....

My turn next I guess....
