He lives (as a baby now)

Well 1005 cst Asher Gage Jasperson joins the fam. He's 8 lbs 7 ounces. When the nurse told mindy to start pushing it only took 20 minutes from there. She pushed like a champ and was done very quickly. I was really shocked because we pretty much waited around for 13.5 hours with little progression. Then shaboom here he is! Anyways no pictures till I get home to my computer.

12 hours later

Well, 12 hours later and still no child yet. She just got checked and she's dialated to a 9 now. They said probabbly start pushing in an hour. Luckily my good friend Matt has been able to go and check on the dog. I kinda thought we'd already be chillin with the little guy by now. But oh well. She got an epidural around 2 and has been sleeping a lot since then. Before the epidural, she was having contractions pretty regularly. After the epidural she kinda stopped having contractions and they kept trying to move mindy to positions that would help bring the baby further down. That took a couple hours to find a good position. Anyways my iPod is almost dead so this might be my last one for a while.

At the hospital

Well, we are at the hospital now waiting for the petosin to kick in. They said it could take up to 12 hours for the baby to peek out. I really hope that's not the case. We were both up till about 2am just talking before we are no longer single (in the sense that we don't have kids). So we are both tired. Oh and this little device can't take pictures, so have to wait till we get home to put them up. I'll have to go home at some point to take care of my little puppy too. Poor buster. Haha

Update

Lately, we haven't been doing much besides looking for a place to live. Nothing has really appealed to us so far but we'll continue looking. It's harder to find someplace in Utah because there really aren't that many rentals (here in Texas there are apartment complexes everywhere). Bryant spent about 3 days in Utah last week and found a few places that were okay but nothing really great. We've also been preparing for the baby. We are currently waiting but hoping that he doesn't come this week (my doctors on vacation and Bryant is going in to work on Friday). It would be great if he came on the due date but we're not holding our breath. I have a feeling he'll be late. If you notice any great places to rent let us know!
