The little guy has made his grand entrance into this world. He weighed in at 7lbs 3oz and is 19 1/2 inches long. He arrived at 9:03pm on Tuesday the 11th. Both him and mommy are doing great.
We came to our weekly appointment on tuesday afternoon. The nurse said that the measurement was right along schedule and when the doctor came in he asked if Heather had been having any contractions and she said no.
He then said to plan on coming in next week for another appointment and we would see how things are. The doctor then decided to check and see if she had dialated further from our last visit. After checking, he said that she was dialated to a 7 and that it would probably be a good idea to head downstairs and have the baby. 
So we went downstairs, checked in, and got all ready to go. The dr. came down and broke Heather's water. Shortly thereafter Heather requested the epidural. She figured that since she hadn't been in any pain thus far that she would like to continue the trend all the way to the end. 
After waiting until she was completely dialated with some help from a little pitocin, Heather pushed for about 2 hours and Ryker was here!!! 
He's doing great so far. He loves to sleep and is already a great eater. We couldn't have asked for anything better.Heather is doing great as well. She's already up walking around and is almost as active as she was before.
