Last Update of Day...

See below post for link (picture) for latest pics. Put several more up. Been a long day...
We're tired and ready to hit the sack. Have to say that Tucker has been a joy (but what else would we say?!). He's been a perfect baby! He only cries when being bathed or "pushed" to eat. I guess I can go ahead and expect jokes he doesn't take after me on the eating...fire away. He's alert and LOVES his big brother Will. They've had fun already.
He's been asleep most of the day, even through all the passing to each other. HOPEFULLY, he'll let us sleep tonight. Further updates (hopefully video) to follow soon...

Heather and I thank EVERYONE for your prayer, calls, emails and any other support you've given. It will not be forgotten and VERY much appreciated. Tucker and Will are blessed to have extended friends and family that we have.

Thank you all!
Ryan

Tucker Delivery

Still waiting...

Okay...8:40am. No real news at this point. Will's still asleep...since 4am. At least he's resting! Heather's still "comfortable" and we're waiting on the doctor. HOPEFULLY she can start pushing very soon.

Here's first batch of photos...will be updated as the day goes on.

You'll have to right click picture and open in new window to keep this open (to refresh later of course...)

Tucker Delivery

Woohoo!!!

It's now 7am on Monday, April 16. I would have pictures, but I can't find my memory stick reader in the dark right now. We're in the "rest" phase before Heather starts pushing.
Her water broke last night around 11:20. She was complaining that this would not end and literally 1 min later, POP! We got to the hospital around 11:50. She's progressed completely on her own (no drugs needed!!). Got the epideral around 3:15ish. I think her reaction was like the greatest gift she could have been given.
Just wanted to get a quick update before the baby to let everyone know...

Have pictures up later today!!!

Latest info...

If anyone is reading this...
Heather's still not had the baby and she's miserable. She hopes to have Tucker soon, but I think he's stretched out and comfy. He may be in for the long haul. I think he's acting like Uncle Rynnie and "running late" when he was born.

Will keep you updated!

PS...how about Billy G!?!
Go Cats!

Latest update...

Heather is now 2cm and "half way" there according to Dr. We're hoping it's a LOT more than that! An Easter baby at latest was what we were hoping for. Looks like it won't be the case!
Keep you updated...

Update on Heather...

Just an update...
Heather is now 1 cm dialated and the dr. felt the baby's head. Last time this happened we waited a week for the water to break and 34 hours for Will to show up. No one rush on travel plans to visit...
Will try to keep you updated...

Soccer Will..

Here's Will's first attempts at soccer. I was shocked he can walk and talk (afraid he would take after Heather)! Looks like he has SOME coordination!!
