Asher is Finally Here!!!!

Asher Ryan Denton was born October 21st @ 4:41pm. He weighed 7lbs 4oz and 19in long. We could not be more thrilled to have him finally here, and he is the perfect addition to our family. He is such a good baby and we really feel blessed to have him in our lives. Jaxson and Bryce just love him to pieces. Jaxson is always wanting to hold him and kiss him and love him, and Bryce just likes to look at him, but both of them are great helpers and love to help, so I am going to take advantage of it while it lasts. Here are some of Asher's first pictures. Below is my labor story if you want to know!!

Bryce and Jaxson's first time to hold their little brother.

Asher was only a few hours old.

Going Home!!

So everyone include myself was hoping that I would go into labor early because I had Jaxson and Bryce about 10 days early. But that did not happen. I was scheduled to be induced on the 21st. The hospital called that morning and told me to come in about 10:30. My dad took Bryce and a close friend took Jaxson for the day so Joe could be with me. So when we got to the hospital they put right into a room and started putting everything together. My doctor came in about 11:00, started the pitocin and broke my water. About 15 min. later I received my epidural (which for me is the best thing ever). After receiving that I really don't remember much for the next hour because it made my blood pressure drop and I was going in and out of consciousness because the epidural was set a little to high, but after they figured out the right setting I was much better. Joe and I just hung out for a few hours and about 3:00 I was only dilated to a three. My doctor was getting a little anxious because he had to leave town about four and he really wanted to be able to deliver my baby. Around 4:15 the nurse came in and checked me again and to my surprise I was dilated to a seven. Then about 15min later I felt pressure like I have never felt before, I asked Joe to go and get the nurse and they checked me again and I was already dilated to a ten. So the nurse went to go and get my doctor and once he was in there I only pushed for 3 1/2 minutes and then little Asher was here and I was so relieved. He came out kicking and screaming and that was music to my ears. It does not matter how many kids you have it is still an emotional experience. He was the cutest little thing I had ever seen. I fell in love with him the moment I saw him. I was only in labor for 5 1/2 hours, not too bad. I have been so blessed to have such healthy pregnancies and deliveries, we could not have asked for a better experience. Later that night Jaxson and Bryce was able to come and see their new little brother. We are so incredibly blessed to have Asher.
