Tyler Evan Hicks was born at 8:20 AM on May 7, 2008. At my 34 week ultrasound, we found out he was breech so we scheduled a c-section for May 9. Well, Tyler decided he didn't want to wait that long. Around 9:30 PM on May 6, I started having minor contractions. They went on for an hour and ranged from 6-10 minutes apart, so I called the doctor as instructed. She told me to come in and they would see what was going on. So, we got ready and loaded everything up in the car. We were so excited about the possibility of meeting the little guy sooner than we thought! I was admitted, and they monitored Tyler's and my vitals. The nurse talked to the on-call doctor to see what the plan was. They decided to keep me overnight and would talk to my doctor first thing in the morning to see how she wanted to proceed.
Needless to say, neither of us got any sleep that night! Around 5:00 AM, the on-call doctor came in and told us that Dr. Richter was going to perform my c-section around 8:00 that morning. We were so excited! We called our families to let them know Tyler was going to arrive that day.
The nurses came in around 7:00 that morning to prep me for surgery and around 8:00 I was wheeled into the OR. Rodney came in shortly after and a few minutes later we heard the first cry of our new baby. It was such an amazing experience! After waiting 9 months, our son was finally here!
He weighed 6 lbs 10 oz and was 19 1/4 inches long.
