Both my boys in one night...

This is when Tyler flew into the Jackson Airport...

This is 6 hours later...

Yes, we had a big surprise Saturday night when Tyler arrived at 8:30 p.m, and Taysen was born at 2:00 a.m. Sunday morning. This is how it went... We arrived in Alpine at 10:30 pm where we were planning on staying the night at a motel. At about 11:30, I started having mild contractions, and tried to go to sleep for about an hour, and then they gradually grew stronger and more frequent, so we headed for the hostpital at 12:50 a.m. I told Tyler on the way to the hostpital (which was 45 minutes away) that I had every intention of getting an epidural. We arrived at the hostpital at about 1:40, and as soon as I walked in the doors, my contractions got much more intense. I kept telling them I wanted an epidural as they were getting me settled in and checking me. Well, my body worked a lot faster than I expected because after they hooked me up to the monitors I had two big contractions, and then on the third one, my water bursted, and right before the 4th or 5th contraction the doctor walked in and told me to push. I pushed twice, and our little guy came out at 1:58 a.m. I didn't plan on having a natural birth, but I am surprised that it wasn't as bad as I thought. I am grateful for the unexpected opportunity to experience one. We named our baby boy Taysen Stanley Banta and he weighed 5 lbs and 11 oz. He is the sweetest most peaceful baby and is doing great. We are very excited to have Tyler home for 3 more weeks and to have our baby boy here at last.
