The Best Day of our Lives

On Saturday, Ty and I headed for what we thought was a nice relaxing trip to visit my grandparents in Waseca, MN. The morning started out with what I thought were just some braxton hicks contractions. We drove the two hours thinking, "We are 36 weeks pregnant there is no way that the baby is coming today." While we were eating dinner and chatting with my family, I started to notice that the contractions were getting stronger and closer together. On the way home, we started timing the contractions. When we got to the car in Hudson, we thought we would just stop over to the hospital and ask a few questions. We were admitted and after two hours they decided to keep us.

I couldn't believe it! I kept telling Ty, I am not ready. It can't be happening now, because I am not ready. They broke my water and about three hours later at 4:48am. He weighed 6lbs 8oz and was 19.25in long. I guess even when you aren't ready the baby comes and some how you get ready. We couldn't be happier. Welcome to the world Elias Tyler Perrenoud, Mommy and Daddy are so happy you are here!
