Ryder was born on Aug 31st, at 6:22am EST (7 weeks early).
At 7:30pm, Aug 3oth, Sidney started feeling her contractions. They were roughly 20 mins apart, and slowly increased to about 1 every 2 minutes by the next morning. At ~5am, they had our hospital room ready to go, and Sidney began the process. At 6:22am, Ryder was born! 10 fingers, 10 toes, healthy. For 33 weeks, he was actually a good size (4.4 lbs), but we were told that he would need some time in the Neo-Natal unit (NICU) to help with breathing. We have been told that he will need 2-3 weeks in the NICU, where they will help lung development, digestive track, and monitor all his vitals. They want him to gain some weight as well. Sidney and I will be staying in a private room in the NICU with Ryder until he is discharged. Then comes the slow migration back to Austin. We cannot wait to be back home and to introduce everyone to our new addition! Hope to see everyone soon.

Congratulations! I was so excited to see your blog!... Ryder looks so sweet, I can't wait to meet him in ATX. BTW, Sidney, you might be one of the cutest pregnant girls I have ever seen (and believe me, I've seen some pretty cute pregnancies).
