One of his first car rides. This is what he thinks of the car seat.

Bryce's Birth

Right before going to the hospital. Jess was actually working, but luckily my sister Amanda was in town and took me to the hospital. My water broke at 2:45 a.m., and we checked in at 3:30 a.m. I got an epidural at 5:00 a.m. I don't know how anybody has a baby without one! By 7 a.m. I was dilated to a 6, then at 9:30 a.m. I was complete. After 3 hours of pushing, the doctor said it was either forceps or a C-Section. So little Bryce came with forceps. He had the cord around his neck, and wasn't the best color. He was whisked away to the NICU to be checked out for a while.

Right after he was born.

Bryce was in the NICU for a couple of hours, getting high pressured oxygen to make sure his lungs were open and working.

Bryce did great in the NICU and was able to come to us four hours after he was born.

An excited grandpa. (First boy in the family)

My family came down to visit us in the hospital.


A proud daddy.

Going home from the hospital, May 7th. :)

Baby Showers

Work baby shower.

Some ladies I work with at a baby shower.

Vickie, a best friend from high school, and I, at a baby shower.

Yay! Bryce Grant Field was born May 4th, at 1 p.m. He weighed 8 lbs. exactly, is 19.5 inches, and has reddish-brown hair. He is so sweet! We are very excited. Pictures will come tomorrow. :) Or check Facebook for lots that Jess has put on.

Still No Baby

Yep--you read the Baby Ticker. It is now adding days for the baby's age!!!! I feel like a ticking time bomb. If our little guy has not made his appearance by next week, I will be induced on Wednesday or Thursday. Wish us luck!
