Christian Ryan Mast

I should have done this 3 weeks ago, but with everything that was going on at the time I just never got around to doing it.

So here it is...............
On March 24th Mom and dad flew in to help me out with the kids for when I had the baby. Mike was off so we just hung out at he house. He had to pick them up at the airport that night. He took Katie with him. I was in some pain during the day but I thought I had just over done it and needed to get off feet and relax. Mom and I were in the den with my dad and Katie, she said she had to go to the potty so my mom and I got up to take her to the potty. I was having problems walking to the other side of the house. When I got to the kitchen I told Mike that we needed to go in. He was online looking at flights to go to Ohio since his dad was in the hospital and not doing good after they shocked his heart. We packed a bag in case they kept me but we didn't think they would. So while we were gone my dad was looking for flights for Mike. We got in and set up at 10:15pm. They checked me and I was 3-4cm. While we were there the baby's heart rate dropped or sped up. The doctor wanted to keep me over night to monitor the baby. We got up stairs and in our room. Mike had to head home to pick up some paper work. That night I was in so much pain I didn't get any sleep.

March 25th, At 8AM my doctor came in and said lets have a baby. My water was still intact but I was in labor. So he broke my water. At 10:45AM I got my epi. Mike went to get food. He didn't want hospital food. When he got back I had just had my epi given. My BP dropped and I felt like I was going to vomit. They Had to give me some meds to help with that. They were unable to get my contractions on the monitor so they had to do the internals. The doctor came back at 1PM and was ready to deliver a baby. I wasn't ready. At 3PM he didn't like the way things were going. He said the baby was either to big to fit down the pelvis or was in the right position. He wanted to do a c-section in a hour. I was having pain and needed to push. So I did and in came the doctor. It was time to have the baby. We pushed for 15 minutes and out came baby. It's a BOY. Christian Ryan Mast was here. 7 pounds 9 ounces. 20 inches long.



The first night in the mother baby unit Mike was with me. The second night Mike stayed at home to help with the kids since they both were having a problem being away from us. He also bought his plane ticket to go to Ohio. The day I was to go home was the day Mike was to fly out. Our friend Ben brought Christian and I home. Dad was in Tampa.
