He's Here!!!
Ryder Marcus Allen
April 3rd, 5:21pm
8 pounds 2 ounces, 21 inches
Here's the short & mainly condensed version... We went in Wednesday night to begin the induction process. My water broke at 6 am Thursday morning, as the day progressed so did my body, but not to the extent that was needed and by 4pm it was determined, for various reasons including size, position and time a C-section was the best option. So as my Dr. said, we got ready for a birthday party. The surgery was quick and smooth as prayed for and everything went perfectly. Even to the point of my doctor discovering and removing some endometriosis on both ovaries that my have resulted in a delayed pregnancy this time and could have prevented or delayed pregnancy in the future... praise God, His ways our better than ours! Our precious, perfect little baby boy was born right after 5pm. His name is Ryder Marcus- middle name is my Daddy's middle name. He is healthy, sweet, calm & feeding well. I am still in the hospital and will go home tomorrow afternoon or Sunday morning. Thank you all so much for your love & prayers. Here are some pictures, plenty more to follow!!!!!

Oh Beth & Daniel -- I'm so glad Ryder is here safe and sound! What an answer to prayer:) He's adorable and looks perfect. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
Long time, no talk, girl, but couldn't resist. He is amazing and beautiful, although I can already see a lot of Daniel in that sweet little face. Good luck to you in parenting and recovery. I am so thrilled for your family. Congratulations!

He is beautiful (and you know me- I'm not just saying that! ha). Hope you are recovering well from the surgery and enjoying your first few days of mommyhood.
Wow... Congratulations guys! We're so happy for you. You'll find being a parent is way better than most things.
