Zachary Tye Flemmons

So this is the story. Meg wakes up having tightening of her belly at about 4 yesterday morning. She falls back asleep, thinking nothing of it. She wakes up at about 5 with more pain more regularly...now every 3-5 minutes. We finally decide that this is what real labor is and call the hospital. We head to the hospital at about 7. Speeding, running red lights, the whole "my wife's in labor" thing, because the contractions now really hurt and are really close. We get checked in to Christus St. John's at about 7:45. Tye was welcomed into the world at 8:23am. No time for epidural, no time to really even think.

Here he is!!! Our sweet Tye.

Fresh out of the womb.

And he weighs.....9 pounds 7 ounces!!! 20 inches long.

Meghan will kill me for putting this picture up, but I thought it was classic. It's the "I just delivered a 9lb 7oz baby without an epidural" look. Way to go babe!!! I knew I married a real woman!!!

Here is the family looking on as Tye gets his first bath and shampoo. Nana, Grandad, my sister Kari, and niece Keslyn drove down to help out and enjoy the occasion. I felt a little like a monkey in a zoo, but was glad they could watch the whole thing.

Once he was all fresh and clean, the whole family got to take turns holding him. First off is big sis Katelin. She was so excited to see her little brother. She kept saying "so sweet, so cute."

Proud Mom...really, way to go, Meg!!! You look great right after delivery.

Very proud Dad : ) What daddy wouldn't be proud of his 9lb 7oz boy!?! Way to go Tye!!!
Our new Flemmons Family of FOUR!!!

Proud Grandad.

Proud Nana.

Proud aunt Kari
Our sweet friends John and Erika came up to see Tye for the first time. Thanks ahead of time for all of the babysitting y'all will be doing : ) What an awesome Easter present...to celebrate new life in our family. We got to bring him home a little over 24 hours after birth. We are grateful for an "uneventful" delivery and healthy little Tye.
