Ryan Samuel Owens! Born on July 30th at 3:25pm. Weight was 8lbs. 3 oz. Length was 20 inches long! He's the greatest lil baby ever!! He's sleeping 5 almost 6 hours at night...straight through!! He took to breastfeeding the first day, had a few bumps in the road but he's an eating champ now. He eat's every 3 hours, he could go longer but I like to keep it every 3 hours. His naps are usually 3 hours long too. He poops 24/7!! The Nursery people said it's normal when you breastfeed so I can't get upset! Honesly though I can't complain!! He's great!!

Oh! I had him on wednesday the 30th and was supposed to get out on the 1st which was friday but right before Ryan was discharged I asked my nurse to take my temp. cause I felt hot. It was 102.2! So we waited 30 mins and then it was 103.6! The nurse called the doctor and he said "Your staying until Sunday!" I was sooooooooooooooo upset!!!! I was just bawling...We were like an hour away from going home and now I have to stay 2 more days!! So then later that night, everything was going back to normal and then around 3am. they gave me my second antibiotics and......BAM! I felt horrible! I started shaking, as if I was having a sezure. The more I tried to stop it the more intense it got, I asked Mark to go grab our nurse again, she came and then went and grabbed her head nurse and before I knew it I had 7 other nurses, the doctor, and the hospital administor, were in there tying to calm me down. My body had gone crazy. My tempurature was 104.2 and rasing, my lips and face turned blue, I felt like I couldn't breath and that my throat was closing which it was, I was STILL shaking, I couldn't stop crying, my pulse was in the 180's which the normal is like 110, my blood puressure was sky high...They were calling the ICU to make room for me, some guy came in to intibate me which is were they put a tube down your throat so you can breathe and then I started calming down....THANK GOD!!! I was so scared!!So after I settled down and the doctor said I could have a blood clot in my lungs so I got a CT scan, and some blood thinner stuff. Well to cut that whole long story short cause there is more....It took me 3 more days to get out cause my fever wouldn't come down. They can't find ANYTHING worng, other than I have some fluid in my lungs but all the blood tests, CT Scan, everything, came back normal. So I don't know?! All I know is I'm better, I'm home with my two men, I'm still sore, and loving life! <3

Seriously though, life doesn't get much better than this. Being a Mommy and Wife are the two best things in life. I love my husband so much that I don't think he even knows how much! He's such a trooper! He didn't leave my side once while in the hospital, was there when my lips were turning blue, and saying "It's okay, just breath baby, look at Ryan, it's okay!", he was there helping me change myself after the baby, he's here doing laundry while I play on myspace, and he's here being the most wonderful, loving, supportive daddy to Ryan. Growing up without a daddy sucks, I know first hand but watching Mark with Ryan makes me so happy that words can not discribe cause I know Ryan is gunna be the most loved little boy in the world. I've always wanted my kids to have a close and loving relationship with their daddy's and I know Ryan will have one .Ryan, oh my little Ryan. I never knew I could love someone more than Mark. When he first came out, All I could think were these things..."He has chinese eyes!, He's bald!, OMG his cheeks! & Omg, your mine!" This kiddo has stolen my heart! Mark has part of it but the other is soley his and forever and always will be his. I love my title as Mommy. I love him so much...I just can't even begin to express what this little boy means to me. I can only say...I love you, i love you, i love you.

& I mean it.
