Baby Tanner is Here!!!

We had our handsome new baby boy today. Tanner Alan Patterson was born at 1:07 this afternoon. We were admitted to the hospital last night at 9:00 to start softening the cervix. It was a long night without much sleep. The doctor then came in at 6:30 this morning and broke Kristy's water. At this time, she was only dialated at a 2. About three hours later, the nurse came in to see how far Kristy had dialated. Surprisingly, she had already completely dialated to a 10! They got her ready to start pushing. After an hour, Tanner was not ready to come out yet so they had Kristy rest for an hour. After the break, Tanner had dropped and we were ready to go. An hour later, he was here!

Tanner weighed in at 7 lbs 6 oz and is 20 inches long. He has lots of long blonde hair. He is a healthy baby and both he and mom are doing great!
